As soon as you have an idea, it would help if you talked openly about it. The more you talk with people about your company, the faster you'll go. If it's a bad idea, you'll fail super fast (hopefully!). On the contrary, if you have a good idea, you'll start gathering a community of supporters before building anything!
Start with a blog, share it on IndieHackers, Reddit or Twitter but share it!
Once you decide to start building, do it publicly. Share your struggles, doubts, and new features openly and how you want to solve the problem. There is nothing to lose in that process. You'll gain some exposure, gather early supporters, and you'll learn 10x faster than someone building on their own!
