Why Every Task Deserves a Post

Developers often only post at launch. By then, they've built in silence for months and have zero audience waiting. Building in public means posting about every meaningful task you complete—not just the big milestones. It's the consistent, authentic trail of progress that matters. For developers building projects to impress employers, each post is proof you're actively shipping and solving real problems. For developers building products that need users, each post drums up interest and creates momentum long before launch day.

How Lockin Works

1

Create a Goal with a Deadline

Add a title, description, and deadline for your next task. "Ship authentication" or "Deploy landing page"

2

Review & Edit Your Auto-Generated Post

Lockin generates a post for each platform connected (Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.). Review it, edit it to match your voice, add specifics. You're refining, not starting from scratch.

3

Deadline Hits, Post Goes Live

When your deadline arrives, your post automatically publishes across all connected platforms. You get a reminder to review or postpone. Limited postponing means real accountability.

Each completed task adds to your public journey. Over time, you build a visible record of consistent progress that attracts the right attention: employers or early users.

Built for Two Types of Builders

Whether you're building for opportunities or building for users

Building Projects to Get Noticed

You're building side projects to showcase your skills and get noticed by recruiters, hiring managers, and CTOs. But your GitHub is full of half-finished work that nobody knows about because you built in silence.

Building in public changes this:

  • Every task you complete becomes visible proof you're actively shipping
  • Employers see your problem-solving process, not just finished projects
  • Ensure you complete projects
  • Your consistent trail of progress keeps you top-of-mind for opportunities

Building Products That Need Users

You're building a SaaS, tool, or side project that you want people to actually use. You know you need early interest before launch, but you're building solo and don't have a marketing budget or audience yet.

Building in public changes this:

  • Build an audience while you build the product—no cold launch to zero people
  • Each task you complete creates momentum and anticipation
  • Early followers become your first users when you launch
  • You validate features and get feedback before investing weeks of work
