THE SHIPYARD LOOP

From “it’s live” to it’s growing.

Five simple steps. Each one makes the next a little easier.

Your starting point

A little corner of the internet. All yours.

Add your app to the directory, or claim a listing that’s already there. Give people a place to discover what you’ve built — and a reason to try it.

Your app, its story, and its proof. In one place.

YYouSuggested reply

Whatever you pick, keep it to one place you’ll actually open every day. Capture first and tidy up later.

What are you using now, and where does it fall apart?

Your words. Your account. Your call.
Let your work speak

Good reactions deserve a longer life.

The replies and upvotes you earn become part of your listing. So a helpful conversation today gives the next person a reason to try your app tomorrow.

Real reactions, linked to their original source.

A BETTER WAY TO GET SEEN

A little help.
A lot of human.

You put yourself into your app.
Keep that same spirit when you share it.

Your voice stays yours.

You do the talking.

Every message comes from you, on your own account. Shipyard helps you find the moment. You decide what to say.

The proof has a source.

Every reaction links back to the conversation it came from. Real people, real words, nothing invented.

The numbers mean something.

Clicks, replies, and signups we can actually measure. Clear signals to help you choose what to do next.

A FEW MORE THINGS

Good questions.
Straight answers.

Is it free to list my app?

Yes. You can list your app in the Shipyard directory for free, giving people a place to discover it and see the reactions it earns.

Will Shipyard post on my behalf?

You send every message yourself, from your own account. Shipyard finds relevant opportunities and suggests a message; you choose whether, when, and what to post.

What if my app is already in the directory?

You can claim the existing listing and make it yours. Start by creating your Shipyard account.

Where does the proof on a listing come from?

From real replies and upvotes on the posts you share. Reactions link to the original conversation so visitors can see the context for themselves.
