Find out if the idea has legs.
You have a hunch and no month to spare. Say what you need to learn. The crew builds the one flow that answers it, you try it yourself, then your first testers get a turn.
Two signatures. The crew does the rest.
No wall of HTML dumped on you at the end. You read the plan first, then watch small steps land.
The whole loop in plain words: how it worksAsk
By youSay it like you’d tell a friend: “Neighbours swapping plant cuttings. Build only the swap request. I need to see whether anyone asks.” No repo? Start empty.
Spec
By product ownerWrites down the one question to answer and what to skip. Asks only what it can’t guess: one street, or the whole town?
Plan You sign
By architect + FammyThe architect cuts the app into small steps. Fammy, our parrot who critiques every plan, pokes holes first: “Step 3 adds sign-in. Does a first test need it?” You approve it, or send it back.
Build
By front-end + back-endAgents build one small step at a time: the screens, the flow, the data. Each step shows what it changed (the diff). Stuck? It asks. It never guesses.
Ship it? You sign
By youYou get a preview and exactly what changed. Try the flow yourself. Ship it, or send it back with one sentence. In your repo, it lands on its own branch.
Go live
By ShipItFamLive on a yourname.shipitfam.com address, one tap. Send the link to your first testers. Changed your mind? Undo in one tap.
An illustrative job, not a recording. The mechanics are real.
Enough to learn from, not enough to regret
A first version real enough to test a decision, cheap enough to bin when the answer is no.
A working version one
Not a mockup, not a slide deck. A real flow on real screens, and you click through it first.
Real users, real signals
Put it in front of the people you’re building for. Watch what they do instead of guessing.
A clear go or no-go
Come away knowing whether to double down, pivot or drop it, on evidence, not optimism.
A base to build on
Got a yes? You’re not starting over. The same project carries straight into the next round of features.
Built for the risky question
Best when you don’t know yet whether people want the thing, and the cheapest way to find out is to let them try it.
Perfect for
a new idea, a fresh feature bet, or a pitch you need something clickable for. Anywhere the goal is to learn, fast.
Start small.
Build the one flow that matters. The crew keeps notes on every answer you gave (the Treasure map), so version two starts where version one ended.
No repo yet?
Start empty and describe what you want, then link a repo when you’re ready to ship it.
Then put it on a routine.
Every Friday, read the week’s tester feedback in Slack and write up the three biggest themes in Notion.
More routines
Build small. Learn big.
Tell the crew the one thing you need to learn. You read the plan before anything is built.
