Shipyard

The trust and distribution layer for vibe-coded apps.

Anyone can build an app now — a weekend with Claude or Cursor produces something shippable. The hard part moved downstream: getting honest feedback, and getting seen. Shipyard fixes both in one loop.

Invite-only. We'll email you to confirm, then send your code as we open the first seats. No spam.

Why now

Building stopped being the bottleneck. Two problems replaced it.

You can't tell whether the thing you built is any good, and nobody finds it. Product Hunt rewards launch-day coordination. Reddit and Hacker News give you one harsh shot. Freelance marketplaces sell you a review you can't trust. A maker shipping their third app this month deserves better.

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.
