Why are you here?
You know that feeling when you're 90% done with your project, and suddenly the last 10% feels impossible?
Or when you finally launch, and getting those first 50 users feels like solving a puzzle with missing pieces?
You're not alone.
Every week, solo builders overcome these exact challenges. They figure out the workaround, crack the code, and ship. But their solutions—the real, tactical stuff that actually works—usually stay buried in private Slack messages and late-night X threads.
Vibe Shipped changes that.
What We're Building
Vibe Shipped is a weekly newsletter that deconstructs how solo builders actually ship their products and land their first customers.
No fluff. No "10x your growth" or “How to get to $50k MRR” nonsense. Just real builders sharing real solutions to the problems you're facing right now.
Each week features one builder and their story, broken down into the parts that matter:
The "Last 10%" Challenge: That one technical nightmare, design roadblock, or scope creep monster that almost killed your project—and exactly how you defeated it.
The "First 50 Customers" Playbook: Your actual, step-by-step strategy for getting strangers to care about what you built. The DMs that worked, the communities that delivered, the tactics you can steal.
Plus their full tech stack, the AI tools that saved them time, and their best advice for builders still in the trenches.
Why This Matters
Your breakthrough moment could save another builder weeks of frustration. Your user acquisition hack could be exactly what someone needs to finally launch.
The indie community thrives on shared knowledge. We're just making sure the good stuff doesn't get lost.
Featured Builder Spotlight
When you're featured in Vibe Shipped, you get:
Real exposure to a curated audience of fellow builders and potential customers
A permanent place in our directory of shipped projects
Recognition for solving hard problems and shipping despite the obstacles
The satisfaction of paying it forward to the next builder stuck where you once were
Ready to Share Your Story?
If you've shipped something you're proud of—whether it's making $5 or $5,000 or $5m—we want to hear about your journey.
The submission process is straightforward: a form that asks about your project, your biggest shipping challenge, and how you got your first users. Think of it as documenting your wins for the builders coming behind you.
