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…
KMPShip launched on July 24, 2025 with 15 votes, #939 of 9,223 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
What it does
KMPShip is a Kotlin/Compose Multiplatform boilerplate for Android & iOS, with built-in auth, payments, navigation, notifications, offline mode, and more. Everything you need to launch your app fast and start earning.
Skip 122+ hours of setup. The Kotlin Multiplatform starter kit with auth, payments, and CI/CD built in. Trusted by 127+ developers.
I was looking for a quick way to launch my mobile app. Tried @KMPShip and had a production-ready app up and running fast. Easily saved me 50+ hours of work. 100% worth it! 🚀 Thanks @VivienMahe! My first SaaS was BeUnderwater. I thought: “One day, when it grows, I'll build the real app.” That day came. But I had no time to waste. Used @KMPShip to skip the boring setup. Now I focus on features + marketing, not configs. Absolute lifesaver. As an indie developer in Senegal, KMPShip helped me build a robust cross-platform app with auth, payments, and a consistent UI, all from a single codebase. I saved dozens of hours and focused on features that matter. Vivien's regular updates make it even…from kmpship.app

KAppMaker2024 · kappmaker.com · ▲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…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Trickle - Magic Canvas ▲1,064Hey HN! Introducing Trickle Magic Canvas: the world’s first Agentic Canvas, where you can visually co-create apps and websites with AI, from idea to production. Why is a canvas better? Most AI tools today rely on linear chats or text prompts. We believe that limits creativity and clarity. Canvas changes the game. 1. Every version & page at a glance. Each page and sub-page lives on a timeline. You can quickly browse, edit, and preview progress like a living, visual document — no more digging through chat logs or scattered states. 2. The canvas is the context. Unlike linear chats, you can…

Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like Morning Brew (https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a vibe-coded fish-tinder…

Hi HN - I made a site that takes a UK postcode, grabs the local MP's information and generates an AI mockup of what their ID might look like. It's a small, silly protest at the stupidity of the Online Safety Act that just came into force. edit - My open AI credits got hugged to death, please use a known postcode (like one from Kier Starmer's constituency, WC2B6NH) in the meantime.
