# Fly in Public

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

## 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. Add one each workday and your bird stays up.

## Who it is 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 is time to market it.
- Anyone vibe-coding an idea who needs the other half: putting it in front of people.
- Anyone who has 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.

## How it works at a glance

1. Sign up and pick a handle. That becomes your public flight page.
2. Each workday, share something in public: paste the link, add a short note.
3. Your bird gains altitude. Miss a workday and it slowly drops.
4. Keep flying long enough and you climb the leaderboard.

## Where you can post from

- The web app: open your flight page and add a proof.
- Telegram: send `/start` to [@flyinpublic_bot](https://t.me/flyinpublic_bot), confirm the web link, and post proofs from chat.
- AI assistants: install the skill and connect the hosted MCP server.
- Scripts and other tools: see the developer docs.

## Use the Telegram bot

The bot is the quickest way to keep flying from your phone. Open [@flyinpublic_bot](https://t.me/flyinpublic_bot), send `/start`, tap the confirmation link, and sign in to connect your account.

- `/status` checks your altitude, crash timing, and streak.
- `/proof <url>` adds a public proof without opening the app.
- `/leaderboard` shows where your flight stands.
