Build in Public

Share Progress

Build in public without publishing your exact revenue.

Building in public usually forces a binary choice: publish your exact revenue for the internet to see, or don't build in public at all. Share Progress removes that choice. It turns any goal you've set in Chartsy into a branded, shareable image - with an optional privacy toggle so you can show real momentum without publishing a specific dollar figure.

A shareable image built from live data

Share Progress generates a branded image showing how close you are to a goal you've set in Chartsy - a ring chart and a percentage, ready to post to X/Twitter or anywhere else. It's built directly from your live Stripe or Paddle data, so the number updates as your business does.

Most founders who build in public aren't trying to hide that they're growing - they just don't want a specific dollar number attached to their name in a public feed forever. Share Progress is built for that middle ground.

How the privacy toggle works

Turn the privacy toggle on, and instead of posting "$46 of my $100 May goal," Chartsy generates "46% of my May goal." Same ring chart, same visual progress, no dollar amount anywhere in the image. You get the credibility and momentum of showing real progress toward a real goal, without publishing exact revenue to an audience that includes competitors, customers, and anyone else who might read too much into a specific number.

Momentum is the actual story

Followers who engage with build-in-public content are usually responding to the trajectory - the fact that you hit 80% of a goal you set, or that this month beat last month - not the specific dollar amount. Progress-toward-goal captures that story just as well as a raw number does, without the downside of a specific figure being scrutinized or screenshotted.

How it works

1

Set a goal

Set a monthly revenue or subscriber target in Chartsy's Goals section - Share Progress needs an active goal to generate an image against.

2

Open Share Progress

Generate an up-to-date image reflecting real progress against that goal, any time during the month.

3

Toggle privacy on or off

Show exact dollar progress, or switch to percentage-only so no dollar figure appears in the image.

4

Post the image

Share it to X or wherever your build-in-public audience is. The image regenerates from live data every time you open it, so there's nothing to update by hand.

Key benefits

  • Branded, shareable progress image generated from live Stripe or Paddle data
  • Privacy toggle shows percentage-to-goal without exposing the dollar amount
  • Regenerates on demand - no stale screenshots or manual recalculation
  • Works with any goal set in Chartsy's Goals section
  • Useful for public build-in-public posts or private accountability groups

Who this is for

Share Progress is for indie founders and small SaaS teams who want to build in public - or share progress with a mastermind or accountability partner - without committing to publishing their exact revenue every time. If you've held off on build-in-public because you didn't want a specific number attached to your name, this is built for that.
