Why the BuildWithVikesh roadmap is public
Visibility, direction, and communicating uncertainty honestly while building in public.
BuildWithVikesh is built for developers and learners. Keeping every direction private would remove useful context from the people the work is meant to serve.
A roadmap creates a shared frame
A public view helps someone distinguish a missing feature from a deliberate boundary, understand where material is still growing, and see whether an idea is already being explored.
It is not a release contract
Software work produces new evidence. Research can invalidate an approach. Quality review can reveal deeper foundations. A roadmap that cannot change is not transparent; it is theatre.
Publish problems and stages of progress. Add dates only when confidence is high enough for a date to be useful.
Participation should improve the signal
The most useful feedback describes the situation, the problem, who experiences it, and what a better outcome would enable. Building in public should create a clearer conversation around the work, not only broadcast progress.
