Shipyard

Ship your app once. Shipyard promotes it every day.

Post your vibe-coded app and an AI distribution agent runs your launch as a campaign, not a day — drafting per-channel posts, dripping them out over weeks, and holding anything risky for your one-tap approval each morning.

Shipyard is an invite-only network for vibe-coded apps — makers get honest, vouched-for reviews and an AI agent handles distribution.

Why now

Launch day was never the problem. Every day after was.

You can't tell whether the thing you built is any good, and nobody finds it. Product Hunt rewards launch-day coordination and then forgets you by dinner. Reddit and Hacker News give you one harsh shot. Freelance marketplaces sell you a review you can't trust. A maker vibe-coding their third app this month deserves a channel that keeps working after the confetti. Shipyard is the Product Hunt alternative built for makers who ship every month.

How it works

One loop, end to end.

From the moment you post, Shipyard reviews it and distributes it — so you stay in the build, not the busywork.

Post what you shipped

A pitch, a link, a couple of screenshots. Signup needs an invite code, so the network grows through people vouching for people.

Clever scope — "draw on a map, share a link" is exactly enough. Add an undo shortcut and a default map center.

Get seen, every day

Posting renders a social card, RSS entry, sitemap update and backlink badge — then an AI agent runs a full multi-channel campaign that drips out over weeks, not one afternoon.

Your morning on Shipyard

Two minutes over coffee, and your launch keeps working.

Distribution isn't a day you survive — it's a habit your agent runs. Here's the loop, every morning.

01

The agent report

Wake up to what your agent did overnight — posts drafted, channels already live, and what's waiting on you — in a single glance.

02

One-tap approvals

Risky channels — subreddits with rules, HN, community forums — never post without you. Approve or skip each draft in a tap.

03

Watch the numbers

Visits, upvotes and reviews roll in over days, not just launch afternoon. Your agent keeps dripping while you build the next thing.

FAQ

Questions, briefly.

What is Shipyard? +
Shipyard is an invite-only network for vibe-coded apps. Makers post what they built, get honest reviews, and let an AI distribution agent run a multi-week launch campaign across channels.
What is a vibe-coded app? +
A vibe-coded app is a small product built fast with AI coding tools, usually shipped by a single maker rather than a team. Shipyard is built specifically for launching and distributing these apps.
How does the AI distribution agent work? +
Shipyard's distribution agent drafts a tailored post for each channel and drips them out over weeks — publishing safe ones automatically and holding risky channels like Reddit and Hacker News for the maker's one-tap approval each morning.
How is Shipyard different from Product Hunt? +
Product Hunt rewards a single launch day. Shipyard is a Product Hunt alternative that distributes daily over weeks, adds an invite-only trust graph, and pays vetted reviewers for honest feedback.
Is it really invite-only? +
Yes — Shipyard is invite-only. Every account traces back through an invite tree, which is what keeps its feedback trustworthy.
What does it cost? +
Posting projects and writing reviews on Shipyard are free. Makers only pay to fund a review bounty or to hire the AI distribution agent to run a daily launch campaign.
When do I get in? +
After a maker confirms their email, Shipyard adds them to the queue for the first cohort of invites, which roll out in batches.
