Shipshape

Hi again PH! 👋 I've always wanted to be able to proudly share in visual form how often the SaaS products I've shipped this year are updated after launch: that is, how often I've been iterating on them and pushing code to production. Not only is "Deployment Frequency" one of the original four key DORA metrics (https://cloud.google.com/blog/pr...), it's also a clear outward signal to whoever might be interested that your product is alive, well, well-maintained and well-supported. And from that itch, shipshape was born: beautiful, completely customisable deployment dashboards. So, who are these people who 'might' be interested in this information? * Your customers: the world of SaaS doesn't stand still, and showing both prospective and existing customers that you iterate, maintain and support your product is a huge confidence boost in the product * Hiring candidates: ambitious developers will want to join a company which doesn't just talk best practice, but actually lives it. Public deployment dashboards are a great indicator of a company which does just that, and does so transparently * Colleagues: whether as a bit of lighthearted internal competition or simply as a way to show off those shipping wins, deployment velocity matters just as much internally as it does externally * Employers: if you're looking for a job and they're looking for someone who actually gets things done and sees their ideas through, Shipshape is the perfect way to prove it By way of a couple of examples: https://www.shipshape.dev/@stron... - the combined stats for everything I've been working on and maintaining for the last six months https://www.shipshape.dev/@ships... - the stats *just* for shipshape itself (I know, very meta - but dogfooding the product was a great way to build it!) And, if you can make the time for it, a quick walkthrough building a simple dashboard from end to end: Shipshape is very much an MVP at the moment but it's one I'm immensely proud of. The main focus going forwards is to add a slew of new components and make the editing experience slicker and more intuitive. Right now, the only data source is Vercel, so if you're not using them shipshape won't interest you (if you're screaming for another provider - let me know!). To reflect this early stage and to celebrate launching on PH, all paid plans are 20% off for three months - this discount is on top of the prices you see on the site and automatically applied at checkout. There's no obligation to pay though, as the free plan entitles you to one free dashboard to try things out. It's very early days for Shipshape, so I'm immensely grateful for any support and feedback, good or bad. Thanks as always, Nick

This looks amazing once again. Will try it out once I'm getting something out through vercel (although currently I'm a big fan of Cloudflare Pages 😄) I can't keep up with your launches Nick! So much value created and always at such high quality! Good luck 👏🤩

Best of luck, Nick & ShipShape Team. Congratulations on your Launch 🚀!

Congratulations on the launch team Shipshape! This looks good.

what a beautiful UI! Congrats on the launch! As an avid Vercel user myself, I can't wait to try it

Awesome job, Nick! Very clean UI and interesting use case! Is there anything we can improve about Tremor?

@makeusabrew I am imagining Shipshape V2. It turned to the social platform, where participants are able to perform a vast range of communicative interactions: · Performing tech discussions about Vercel deployment dashboards, code shipping practices, and modern development techniques. · Converse around creating visually appealing and customizable dashboards using various components from the library. · Exchange of ideas regarding data-driven decision making based on dashboard metrics and analytics provided by Shipshape. · Discuss their ongoing projects or seek feedback from others in order to improve their work. Finally, Shipshape becomes a space where employers looking for talented developers can connect with job seekers showcasing their portfolio through deployed projects on Vercel. How far can you go with this amazing project? It all on you :)
