Build in public, without the noise.

I started ProductLog because I was tired of building in public on a platform that wasn't built for it.

X is loud. The algorithm rewards hot takes over honest work-in-progress. A maker shipping their tenth update of the month gets buried under engagement bait. The people I actually wanted to hear from — other indie makers, working through the same problems — were scattered across feeds, Discords, and dead newsletters. One might have more freedom on personal blogs, but no one finds you there. It's also incredibly difficult to follow 20 entrepreneurs you want to track on their websites.

There's no shortage of places to launch a product. Product Hunt is great for one day. Indie Hackers is great for milestones. But the daily practice of building in public — the small updates, the roadmap shifts, the "shipped this today" moments — those don't really have a home.

ProductLog is trying to be that home.

What it is

A space where makers share their products, ship updates, publish roadmaps, and collect feedback from real users. Built around the maker, not the launch.

• Products — your work, in your voice, in your language. Show what you're building, what stage it's at, where it's heading.

• Updates — your changelog, journal, or shipping log. Small posts, big posts, public or focused. The audience is other makers who actually read them.

• Roadmaps — what you're thinking about next. Public, optional, never enforced.

• Feedback — for the people who use your product to tell you what's missing, before they churn quietly.

• Discovery — see what other makers are shipping. Follow the ones whose work resonates. Find your people.

No streaks that punish you for missing a day. No algorithm that buries your tenth post. No pressure to be entertaining. Just the work, the people doing it, and the small rituals that keep the practice going.

Why pre-launch

ProductLog is live but young. The product itself is being built in public, on ProductLog, by me — Evren Bal. This page you're reading is the first product on the platform. The first update will be the announcement that this page exists.

If you're a maker who's been wanting a place to do this properly, you can sign up today. It's free. The first 50 makers shape what this becomes.

If you're not sure yet, follow along. Watch how it gets built. Decide later.
