Log what
you ship.
Every ship carries proof. Builders who’ve been verified react to it. Your city ranks you every month. Founders find you by what you’ve actually built.
The yard is quiet. Be the first ship.
The first builders in every city take #1 on the local board.
Post the first shipFour things every builder needs. One place.
No vanity likes, no follower counts. Proof, reactions from people who ship, and a rank that resets every month.
Log what you ship
Post a commit, a live URL, a screen recording, a Figma file or a number. Connect GitHub and we detect ships for you — one tap to post.
Real reactions
Kudos and structured feedback — “what works”, “what to fix” — from builders whose identity and work are verified. Every first ship gets 3+ reactions within 24h.
Local leaderboards
Rank in your city, your college, your stack and your community. Boards reset monthly, so this month is always winnable.
Get discovered
Founders and companies search builders by what they’ve shipped — not by keywords on a CV. Intros are opt-in; your contact is shared only when you accept.
Tiers
Trust you earn by shipping.
Verification never stores ID images or numbers — providers tell us yes or no. Badges are public. Scores aren’t.
