I have a shipping problem.
Not a coding problem, I can build forever. I'll rewrite the same database three times, add login for users that don't exist, tweak padding on a landing page nobody's seen. The actual hard part, hitting deploy and letting a stranger judge it, I'll avoid for weeks.
It's not technical. It's just fear. So I built something to push me past it.
It's a co-founder, basically. A system prompt that figures out why you're stalling and changes how it talks to you depending on what you're doing:
- if you're over-engineering, it tells you to delete the thing and ship the hacky version
- if your product's bloated, it makes you cut features until there's one good one left
- if you're scared to sell, it rewrites your pitch into something people actually click
That's it. It doesn't write code for you. It argues with you until you ship.
The dumb part: I finished this and then left it sitting in my Downloads folder for days because I didn't want to launch it. The tool literally exists to fix that exact thing and I still did it. Posting this is me finally listening to my own tool.
Try it (no signup, no key): https://shipper-agent.vercel.app/
Code's here (MIT): https://github.com/altmichael/shipper-agent
Runs on Gemini Flash. You can self-host it or just steal the system prompt and paste it into whatever LLM you use.
If you've got something half-built right now, go yell at it for a minute. Then ship.
