Welcome to Fly in Public

Fly in Public is a marketing ritual for builders. Put what you built in front of people, learn what resonates, and keep your flight alive. Go silent for too long and your bird starts to drop.

New here? You can be set up in under a minute. Create a flight, share something in public today, watch your bird climb.

The short version

You have a bird. The bird flies as long as you keep making your work visible. A proof is anything public people can open and react to: a post, a video, a landing page, a demo, a changelog, a small offer. Post a few each week and your bird stays up. Miss a day or two and altitude only drifts down a little, so you can keep flying without flawless consistency.

Why this exists

Most builders work in private and hope someone notices when the product is "ready". Fly in Public flips that around: the work becomes visible while you do it, so you can find out who cares and what resonates.

Who it's for

Solo builders and indie makers shipping a product.
Founders who want a public, visible record of doing the work.
Creators and freelancers who want a daily reason to share something small.
Builders who can ship code fast but freeze when it's time to market it.
Anyone vibe-coding an idea who needs the other half: putting it in front of people.
Anyone who's been quietly tinkering and wants a tiny ritual that gets them on stage.

You do not need to be a developer. The whole loop works from the web app and from Telegram.
