24 alternatives to KMPShip
Hey HN, I'm an indie developer who has been building mobile apps for a while. After repeating the same setup across projects (auth, CI/CD, payments, notifications), I built a boilerplate to save time and focus on actual features. KMPShip is a Kotlin/Compose Multiplatform boilerplate that helps you build Android and iOS apps from a single shared codebase. It includes: Shared codebase (for UI, domain and data layers), Firebase Auth, Google/Apple sign-in, In-App purchases & subscriptions, local & push notifications, CI/CD setup, full documentation and a small community space…

KAppMaker▲16Hey HN, I built KAppMaker, a Kotlin Multiplatform boilerplate that helps you launch iOS and Android apps quickly. I know the boilerplate space is pretty saturated, but after publishing two open-source Kotlin Multiplatform libraries (KMPNotifier and KMPAuth), and seeing how much manual work goes into app setup, I realized something had to change. Each time I started a new app, I spent at least 4-5 days just setting up basics like authentication, notifications, and in-app purchases—before even getting to the core feature. To speed up this process, I created KAppMaker, a boilerplate that…

Hello Hacker News. I'm Marc, one half of the team that created skip.tools. Skip is a tool that transpiles your SwiftUI iOS app into a Kotlin Jetpack Compose app, and enables you to use a single language to create a complete app that reaches the entire mobile marketplace. What it is: Skip stands in contrast to other cross-platform development tools like Flutter, React Native, and Xamarin, in that it enables the creation of genuinely native applications for both of the dominant mobile platforms. It doesn't embed a separate engine or runtime into your app, but instead lets you use pure Swift…

Hi HN! We’re Yann, Edouard, and Bastien from Koyeb (https://www.koyeb.com/). We’re building a platform to let you deploy full-stack apps on high-performance hardware around the world, with zero configuration. We provide a “global serverless feeling”, without the hassle of re-writing all your apps or managing k8s complexity [1]. We built Scaleway, a cloud service provider where we designed ARM servers and provided them as cloud servers. During our time there, we saw customers struggle with the same issues while trying to deploy full-stack applications and APIs resiliently. As…

Hey HN, I'm Andres. I've been building Kapso as a solo founder, and just crossed 4,000 developers, all organic. WhatsApp has 3B+ users and 98% open rates. You'd expect developers to be building tons of stuff on it, especially when the US is the fastest-growing market in WhatsApp usage. But it’s not happening… And I'd bet it's because the DX is painful. Every team needs to build the same features again and again. Meta fires webhooks for everything. There's valuable data in there for debugging, but no way to make sense of it without building your own tooling. That’s why I built Kapso. What you…

Hey HN. I'm a developer and solopreneur. Few months ago I realized I was doing the same thing over and over again: set up onboarding flow, user authentication, payments, connect a DB... So I built ExpoShip for 3 reasons: 1. Save Time and focus on what matters: building a business. 2. Avoid headaches like setting up authentication or handling in-app payments. 3. Get profitable fast. I hope this boilerplate will be as helpful to you as it is for me. Would love your feedback. Rudolfs

Kodus▲145Hey everyone, Just wanted to share a quick update we just launched at Kodus. For those who don’t know it yet, Kodus is a code review agent that runs directly in your team’s Git workflow (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket… and now Azure DevOps as well). It helps maintain code quality and consistency by analyzing each PR based on your team’s own rules and repository standards. Support for Azure had been a common request — so if your team uses it, you can now plug Kodus right into your workflow and give it a try. Docs: https://docs.kodus.io/how_to_use/en/overview Repo:…

Krock.io▲156Hey HN! I built KROCK.io, a video collaboration tool made for animation and video production teams. I used to run an animation studio where managing Frame.io seats was a nightmare: constantly adding/removing freelancers, limiting client access, and watching per-user costs pile up. KROCK.io fixes that. It’s built around one simple idea: unlimited seats, unlimited projects. Pay for storage and features, not for people. You can comment on frames, track versions, set approvals, and collaborate not just on file sharing, but through the entire production workflow. Highlights: - Unlimited team…

Hey HN, I'm a solopreneur and I ship apps like a madman. 16 startups in the last 2 years. I realized I was doing the same thing over and over: set up DNS records, connect DB, listen to Stripe webhooks... So I built ShipFast for 2 reasons: 1. Save time and focus on what matters: building a business 2. Avoid headaches like emails ending in spam or waiting 3 days for Google to approve I hope this boilerplate will be as helpful to you as it is for me. Would love your feedback pls Marc
