ShipLog — Automated Content for Builders

Creator Economy ⭐ Today's idea
For

Solo founders and small startup teams (1-5 people) who ship code regularly but struggle to maintain a consistent social media presence

Who are

Frustrated by the gap between what they build and what the world sees. They know visibility compounds. They've watched Pieter Levels, Marc Lou, and Danny Postma build audiences by sharing their work — but writing posts drains their mental energy.

We build

An automated content engine that turns your building activity into ready-to-publish social posts. Connect GitHub, Linear, Notion, and Stripe. ShipLog monitors your commits, completed tasks, and revenue milestones — then generates authentic, voice-matched posts.

Unlike
  • Buffer/Hootsuite — built for marketers, you still write everything
  • Typefully/Hypefury — better for writers, but you still write
  • Tweet Hunter/Taplio — generic AI output, shadowban risks
We deliver
  • Zero creative effort — your commits ARE your content
  • Your voice, not AI slop — trained on your actual writing
  • Multi-platform — X, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky
So that

Founders build their reputation while they build their product. In 12 months: documented journey, engaged audience, inbound opportunities — without writing a post from scratch.

Проблемот

Knowledge workers and founders know they should "build in public" but 73% fail to maintain consistency. The problem isn't willpower — content creation drains the same creative energy needed for building.

"Build in public is more like destroying mental peace in public. I would rather spend my time working on real marketing strategy rather than wasting my time with people who will never convert."

"The constant pressure to perform. Some days you got nothing to show and you feel like you're letting your 'audience' down. It's exhausting."

"Wrong. You should NOT create a product that ONLY relays on building in public to sell. I have built in public before, but is too toxic for the product and your mental health... Is a trap. Social media is a trap."

"Sure probably would love to, but there is a big thing that really holds me back - effort to start. If you have an audience already it's a no-brainer... But there are lots of people who are super anxious about it."

"I definitely disagree with this! Build in public can be more of a distraction as you worry too much about the update that you need to post than the quality of the product that you are building."
