# I Ship This

Where founders ship in public. A global directory of solopreneurs and app makers: claim a handle, list every app you've actually shipped — including the sunset ones, honestly labelled — and get a pin on the world founder map. Free to build your profile, one-time payment to publish it.

## Features

- **Your Handle, Your Page:** Claim a handle and your founder profile lives at that address — bio, links and every app you've shipped. Rename it later and the old links keep working.
- **Apps With Honest Status:** Each app carries a status: idea, building, live, sunset or acquired. The sunset badge is treated as a trust signal, not something to bury.
- **The Founder Map:** A city-level world map plus founder and app directories, so people can find builders nearby or in a niche. City-level only — no exact pins.
- **AI App Brief:** Paste an app URL and get a drafted brief — copy, tags and a suggested status — always editable, so filling in your profile isn't an evening's work.
- **First-Party Analytics:** Profile views and outbound clicks tracked in-house with bot detection and daily rollups, so you know which links actually do something.
- **Generated Social Cards:** Every profile gets its own social preview card, rendered in whichever of the four profile themes you pick.
- **Built to Be Found:** Public, indexable founder and app pages with a directory sitemap — the point is that people outside the site can find you.
- **Not a Social Network:** No follows, no DMs, no feed to feed. People reach you through your links. That's the whole design.
