Why this exists

Building got fast. Knowing what to build did not.

You can ship a product in a weekend now. You can also waste a weekend building the wrong one. ShouldIShip.it exists for the moment before commitment — while the idea is still cheap to change.

Every idea gets one of three

  • Ship it

    Worth building.

  • Needs work

    The idea's there. The pitch, audience or scope isn't.

  • Don't ship

    Spend the weeks elsewhere.

How it works

  1. 01

    Post the idea

    Say what you're thinking of building in a few sentences.

  2. 02

    Get real verdicts

    Makers vote Ship it, Needs work, or Don't ship — and tell you why.

  3. 03

    Build the better version

    Use the feedback, iterate, and come back with v2.

Post it before you start building.

Get the uncomfortable feedback while the idea is still cheap to change.
