I kept failing at building in public for the same reason every time: not fear of judgment, just the blank page after a long day of shipping.Something always happened. But converting "refactored auth flow" or "fixed that edge case that's been annoying me for a week" into something worth posting felt like a second job on top of the actual job. So I'd skip it. Then skip it again. Then stop entirely.The approach: connect your GitHub, it pulls recent commits and repo activity, and generates draft posts for multiple platforms in your tone — raw founder voice, not content creator polish. The idea is you're always starting from something real you actually did, not staring at a blank box trying to manufacture insight.A few decisions I made consciously:Didn't want to build another scheduler. Hypefury/Typefully solve distribution. This solves the upstream problem: knowing what to say in the first place.Kept the output editable and minimal — 2-3 options per session, short, easy to tweak. Not trying to automate your voice, just unblock it. Free tier to start. Wanted real usage before charging anyone.Still early. Roadmap includes better tone calibration, tighter commit parsing, and more platform targets. But I've been using it daily myself which is the real test. Would love feedback, especially from anyone who's tried and failed at BIP consistency before.
