Always be shipping. Find small things to ship, features to celebrate.
This is the advice given for startups, especially looking for product-market fit. Can't get feedback if you don't ship. Can't have people you didn't think to show celebrate you for meeting their needs--if you don't ship.
Repeated exposure is also good, for eventual trialing and adoption.
You can ship small, and announce to small, targeted communities. Or share with your own metadata about link source.

Shipping stuff is one of the most important skills to learn in the early days of a career, FAANG is a good place for that. I worked with people, and orgs, who learned to ship and those who didn't. The latter are at best a pain to work with, at worst a net negative for whatever work is being done.
