Ship · Your app is almost working
Turn your almost-app into a real product.
A focused shipping engagement for non-developer founders who built most of an app with AI and hit the last-mile wall.
Starting range
From $X
Final scope and range follow the Ship Readiness Audit.
What it is
A clear outcome, not an open-ended project.
Ship is a productized engagement that takes an almost-working web app through the final work required for real customers. We stabilize what you built, protect accounts and data, connect essential services, launch it, add recovery and health signals, then hand it back in a workspace designed for safer future changes.
Good fit when
This sounds like now.
- The main customer journey already works on your computer.
- You are stuck on sign-in, email, data, launch, or reliability.
- You want to keep owning and improving the product after launch.
What you leave with
The useful finish line.
- A web app real customers can access and use
- Working sign-in, account recovery, and transactional email
- Private configuration and customer data boundaries checked
- Backups, basic health signals, and a recovery path
- A Ship Workspace and guided handoff
The engagement
Progress you can see and explain.
- 01
Find the real blockers
We start from your Audit, inspect the full customer journey, and agree on the exact definition of Shipped.
- 02
Work the Ship Framework
We stabilize, secure, connect, and launch in an order that prevents one fix from creating three new problems.
- 03
Hand back control
You leave with a live app, a plain-English product map, and a safer way to keep building.
The Ship standard
“Live” is not enough.
An app is Shipped when real users can trust it and you can keep changing it without gambling the product.
- Real customers can open and use the live app.
- Sign-in and account recovery work outside your computer.
- Transactional email reaches the people it should.
- Each customer can only see the information meant for them.
- Private keys and settings are kept out of public code.
- Backups and basic health signals are in place.
- You can keep building safely in your Ship Workspace.
Questions
Before you start.
How complete does my app need to be for Ship?
The main customer journey should work on your computer, even if sign-in, email, customer data, or the live version still fails. The Ship Readiness Audit will tell you whether the app is ready for Ship or needs Build & Ship first.
Can I keep vibe coding after the engagement?
Yes. The Ship Workspace and handoff are designed to help you try changes away from the live product, save known-good versions, and understand what a change may affect before you release it.
Does Ship include payments or mobile app stores?
Payments, Apple App Store and Google Play submission, and custom outside integrations are scoped add-ons. The core Ship engagement focuses on a reliable live web app, sign-in, email, data protection, recovery, and handoff.
