Shipped

A FREE CLUB FOR BUILDERS

Only people who ship get in.

Your record is the door: apps in the stores, sites that are live — counted by Apple, Google Play, and GitHub, not by you. Inside the SHIPPED Telegram group, every member ships every 30 days and shares one useful thing a week.

MEMBERS ONLY

No signup. The stores decide. Ten seconds.

Every builders’ club is full of people talking about shipping. This one checks.

Five colors, one rule: the lamp is on while the stores say you shipped in the last 30 days. It never turns grey. Wear it in your footer; it opens the door.

WHAT THE DOOR ASKS

  1. 1
    Show your record
    A domain or an Apple developer ID. You get a record and a badge right away. No signup.
  2. 2
    Be a member
    One live product and a store or GitHub update in the last 30 days. Then @shipped_gate_bot hands you a one-use invite to the SHIPPED group. List everything in shipped.json; the file on your domain is the account.
  3. 3
    Stay in by shipping and sharing
    Thirty days without a store update: the lamp on your badge goes out and you leave. Fourteen days without an insight: same door. Ship or write, then knock again.

QUESTIONS

What is SHIPPED?
A builders’ club you can only enter with a shipping record. The record is computed from Apple, Google Play, GitHub, and the Wayback Machine; nothing is self-reported.
How do I get in?
Show your domain or Apple developer ID at the door. One live product and a store or GitHub update in the last 30 days makes you a member. Name your Telegram in shipped.json and @shipped_gate_bot hands you a one-use invite — only the people named in the file can claim the record.
What do members owe?
Two things. Ship every 30 days — the stores decide. Share one useful insight every week in the Insights topic — 200 characters, title first. Miss either and the door closes; ship or write, then knock again.
What counts as activity?
An App Store release or update, a Google Play “Updated on” date, or a push to a listed GitHub repo. Web-only records need a repo to count.
What does it cost?
Nothing. No paid tier, no account, no database. Your shipped.json on your domain is the account.
