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

    Hey 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…

    Hi 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…

  • Hey 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.
