Build-in-Public Week 1 — 35 Articles, 185 Views, First Bookmark, First Bluesky Follower, and the Pareto in a Flat Chart

This is the Friday field report for Week 1 of public marketing on Background Camera RemoteStream — a privacy-first Android camera app that records with the screen off, streams to YouTube Live, and never phones home. Three days ago I posted Part 2 of the build-in-public series — the philosophical month-one retrospective. This post is the boring tactical sibling. The data, the experiments, what is queued for Week 2, and what I am no longer doing.

If you are an indie hacker keeping a public scoreboard, this is the format I have settled on.
