Building in Public: My Journey as an Independent Builder 🚀

Hi, I’m Jaswanth.

Right now, I’m in my learning phase — but I’ve decided I don’t want to stay stuck in tutorial hell anymore. Instead of endlessly watching courses for hours and saving ideas for “later,” I’m choosing to build, ship, and learn in public.

Why I’m Doing This

For a long time, I consumed more content than I created. Tutorials felt productive, but deep down I knew real growth comes from building real products. So I made a simple rule for myself:

👉 Build and release one tech product every week.

My Approach

Learn by building, not by waiting – If I don’t know something, I’ll learn it while creating.

Small scope, fast shipping – Simple tools, micro-apps, experiments.

Consistency over perfection – Shipping weekly matters more than building something “huge.”

Build in public – I’ll document wins, failures, lessons, and progress openly.

What I’m Exploring

I’m curious about product building, startups, and solving small problems with technology. Some weeks might be web apps, some AI tools, some experimental ideas — the goal is to keep moving forward.

Why Document the Journey?

Because someone else might be where I am today — learning, confused, and unsure where to start. If my journey helps even one person move from consuming to creating, it’s worth sharing.

This is not just a challenge.
It’s a mindset shift — from watching builders to becoming one.

If you’re also building, learning, or experimenting, let’s connect and grow together.
