Public build culture is underrated

Web3 loves to talk about “open source.”
But open source doesn’t always mean an open narrative.
Code can be public — and still invisible to most users.
The real question: how do we make the process visible?
Imagine more projects building with:
Public roadmaps. Open dev journals. Community-first storytelling.
Letting people follow the journey, not just the GitHub repo.
Public build culture isn’t about marketing. It’s about trust.
It invites users to care — and to contribute.
Maybe that’s the next unlock for adoption: not just shipping in public, but building a narrative people can join.

What if the key to adoption isn’t just open code but an open story people can be part of?

Open source is great, but most people don’t read code, they connect with stories.

When a project shares the why behind what they’re building, the ups and downs, the real progress (not just polished updates), it makes everything feel more human and more real.

Like i am not a techy guy but this is my way to understand,
