The Art of Building Live in Public

Have you ever built in public with virtual strangers before?

Sounds strange, but I'm doing it right now. And honestly find it kind of fun! It's a lot of what I used to do in an office, only with an audience that has yet to buy in.

Will you sell the concept?

Only effort and skill will decide.

That's the risk of building in public: You may fail. Big time. Or worse, you may fail because no one tuned in, at all.

But in a world where most of my resume is on the other side of an NDA, building in public is a great way to build a portfolio real-time. 

So, let me introduce you to:


Spaces Boo is dating app for the X platform.

The Opportunity

There’s no structured way to observe, validate, or elevate voice-based chemistry on X Spaces.

  • 500M+ users on X
  • Live audio engagement is on the rise
  • Dating + Networking hybrid need is unmet

 

The Problem

People want real-time connection, but voice-first chemistry is hard to measure.

  • No discovery funnel exists for next steps
  • No UX signals for relationship or vibe status
  • No certification of public relationships = performance without reward

The Solution

Spaces Boo A social UX protocol for identifying, tracking, and certifying in-group banter-based bonds in live Spaces

  • Boo Map
  • Status Pins (Wingman, Boo)
  • Public rituals (Banter Loops, Certifications)
  • Certified relationship tiers

UX Map Preview

  • Explainer: how public chemistry is observed and rewarded


Market Positioning

Not a dating app. A voice visibility layer for the elite creator economy. Comparisons:

  • Bumble = swipe-based
  • Clubhouse = topic-based
  • Spaces Boo = story-based

Audience

  • Bitcoin bros
  • Elite women in tech
  • Voice-first creators
  • Relationship coaches
  • UX designers

That's the brief we're working with, and the question is:


How far will this go, and are we about to build an app?


Would you sign up for a dating app with a playbook?
