A product is more than its launch. I built whatshipped for the whole journey. Looking for alpha testers!
A product gets one launch day.
Then the real work starts.
You fix onboarding.
You ship the missing features.
You respond to feedback.
You figure out what the product actually is.
That’s the real story of building a product, but there isn’t really a good home for it.
You can launch on Product Hunt.
You can post updates on Reddit and X.
You can write blog posts.
But the journey ends up scattered across platforms that weren’t really built for documenting a project over time.
So I built whatshipped.
The idea is simple:
- create a project
- post "ships" as meaningful updates
- build a public timeline of how the project evolves
- follow other builders' journeys
Not daily productivity logging, and not tiny changelog noise. More like a public record of the real progress on a project: what changed, what got shipped, and what was learned.
It has just gone live and I'm looking for alpha testers. Since it's community-based, it has a massive cold start problem so I'd like to let people through in batches so there's users who are active at the same time. Any feedback is massively appreciated! Link is in the comments
