  1. 1

    Hey HN, I'm David, one of the creators of Shipper. My brother and I made this tool that builds full-stack software from a few prompts, so it's like talking to ChatGPT. Its purpose is to help you go from idea to product without starting from scratch. There are other no-code builders out there but they either require a technical background or become unreliable for long term projects (e.g. they lose context and break your project). Shipper writes code for you and asks for technical knowledge only if you're comfortable with it. Technical details: I think you could also call it a vibe coding tool…

    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
