most days I'd say: fml I need to work on docs again.
today I feel SO hyped to write docs, just because they are in MDX.
did you try mdx and feel the same? 🤔
It's so fun & OP, it should be illegal.
Also, I am incredibly excited about making 100s of usage examples of the
Shipixen version of 1.2.5 is out and addresses issues that some of you have with the deployment.
If you still see issues after the update, please reach out 🙌
version 1.9.0 is out 🎉
- copy & paste landing page sections with thief mode 🥷
- 4 templates, with more to come
- 70+ landing page component demos
- 10s of new components that help you build landing pages that *convert* 🚀
📣 Introducing Shipixen templates 📚 & thief mode 🥷
the developer that can't make a landing page that
converts is about to be a thing of the past.
not all of us can design & market, but we are all perfectly capable of taking all shortcuts.
Just take a look 👀👇

Hi Dan, really enjoying Shipixen so far, it was the product I didn't know I needed, easy to get started but more costumizable than a no-code tool.
I have a bit of feedback that's hopefully useful :)
- When generating the boilerplate it would be nice to toggle light/dark
I wish I could be a Shipixen customer 😃
Shipixen powers all of my products and the biggest winners of that are:
👉 all of my customers.
Dogfooding my product means I constantly
- ship new tools
- add new components
- improve the code
in order to hyperoptimize my work.
Deployed!
Pricing page generator can now export to:
- Shadcn UI / Shipixen
- Radix UI
- or just TailwindCSS w/o any deps 🔥
All free 😎
The days of ugly pricing pages are numbered. Configurable. Responsive. Dark mode.
I am so back
Did you see we got some new components? 👀
- carousel
- pagination
- toggle groups
- drawer
- resizable
and more!
Landing page components will be refreshed too soon 🎨
I was beginning to doubt adding all these components & keeping them up to date in Shipixen. Is anyone going to actually need them?
then I used many of them in HuntedSpace v2 and let me tell you, I didn't look back🙈
if you ever needed to implement a touch-friendly carousel
the reason why I can’t shut up about is not the tech itself, it's cuz I *know* it works.
It got me momentum.
It made me ship.
It earned me 10s of thousands of $ this year.
Made: Clobbr, Crontap, Apihustle, MRRArt, HuntedSpace, MorningMakerShow and...
🎉 Shipixen is live on ProductHunt
If you like Shipixen or just like me 😃
any support would be greatly appreciated.
I hope today I challenge how people build websites, blogs and generally ― products. Wish me luck! 😬
Coming in version v1.10 🚀
- 🆕introducing: font customization. Choose between 16 font pairings with the press of a button!
- 🎨16 pre-made beautiful font & theme combinations are now available in the Shipixen app
Update rolling out today!
overengineered this copy button.
I'd be a lot more successful as an indie maker if I didn't care so much about the details.
Products worse, sure. But I'd ship more.
I think even if I worked at McDonalds I'd make the best burger you've ever had at a Macky Ds.
Is this a moat?

It offers SEO optimization, sitemap, blog functionality, tags, RSS feed, and more.

feeling like forever at a disadvantage, but... I just couldn't let this choppy animation be 🥲
I could spend this time marketing, no?
But it didn't feel high quality enough. I want people to press on that collapsible and say "this felt good". Like when you get a fancy car and
y'all thought I went on holiday after the launch marathon.
nope!
I took over the wheel & stepped on the gas until the pedal broke.
📣 you can now get for Windows 😎
Next.js was never so beautiful on Bill Gates' desktop.

this better be a moat, because I spent waaay too many hours making trying to figure out how to make a bunch of squares fit a bunch of bigger rectangles
feedback widget now has spam protection ✅
I forgot who asked, but I hope the universe connects you with this information 😃

I just deployed a website 🎉
Dan from 1 year ago would be terrified of this.
I did the exact opposite of what my dev brain says
✅ content
✅ video
✅ website
✅ marketing?
✅ Product Hunt launch scheduled
❌ product done (wip)
❌ docs (wip)
❌ open sourced
A story in 3 parts
less than 2 days until the launch 😱
normally I'd be in full panic but I know I'm on to something with this product. I feel it.
redoing the testimonial section & it's just incredible to re-read the feedback on the Beta.
And I'm just getting started!
The Shipixen App is free to download 🥳
The only thing you need to do is press some checkboxes & add your mail.
Would you go through that to try out a product before you buy?
Or is that too much friction?

@dobroslav_dev
Yeah, that’s the problem we have after
@shipixen
came out!
Me and
@Matt_heyqq
usually just sit there and try to keep up with the MRR coming in..
And some say „boilerplates make your life easier“… not easy at all!
a LP component system that's also themeable is quite challenging to build.
defo giving it my best, close to 80 examples on Shipixen and it's starting to click 👀
3 main problems popped up.

on PH w/ is crazy.
Thanks to the indie maker community I kept shipping. I found the motivation to keep going & it got me here

Shipixen wouldn't be possible w/o

Thank you for making it. You gave me a job
Page UI is a bit like Shadcn UI but for landing page components.
I open sourced 🫶 it today and also:
✅ wrote a small cli tool
✅ added docs
✅ made sample app
AND most importantly, pulled this power move that I always wanted to pull:
Lots of people reach for expensive 3rd party SaaS to collect emails.
No need if you can throw together a few lines of code.
Set up a basic form w/ EmailOctopus & you're done in 10 min.
Super generous free tier.
Here's how to add to e.g. Next.js 👇
essentially why Shipixen exists.
It’s the best of both worlds. Make a landing page that converts fast, then
✅ own the code
✅ deploy anywhere
✅ host yourself
Updated Shipixen to Next.js 14.1.0 🎉
Release in progress ⌛
In the prev release I had introduced an annoying performance issue when starting the app that probably caused a lot of churn 🥲
Page UI is live on Product Hunt 🎉
Drop by & say hi. Any support greatly appreciated 💜

copy & paste your landing pages like you just discovered StackOverflow 🕺
We did it! 🎉

published my first article on DEV
wish me luck 🤞
anyone else tried that before?
tbh I think it's less technical than usual there but if I could pull all devs to the side an yell at them:
"Tech doesn't matter now!!! Just ship it and get back to this
no joke but
@shipixen
is one of the best websites i have seen in the community. i mean it's built with Shipixen but just the complexity of the website, and the documentation, such a good example.
also, dan added free tools like this is really really good.
This was one of the biggest Shipixen release so far.
📄 Reworked all landing pages generation
✨ New AI features
23 components
77 examples
10 templates
But it was so big I almost didn't ship it. I hate my dev brain some days.
how do you keep things small and ship more often?
the plan?
👉 write the best docs on the planet
my goal is to make Shipixen docs so good people don't need to ever check the source. Show it → Basic Usage → Examples → API reference.
Looking good so far. Took inspo from Radix!
how do you write docs? Any tips for UI libs? 😬
took me 5 min to migrate my blog with & I will not pay a dime anymore.
- fully static, including code blocks
- great performance
- all SEO bells & whistles: sitemap, metas, og, jsonld
even has dark mode 🫡
actually, let me cancel that subscription now.
I just freaking LOVE to write on the blog.
MDX is so powerful & everything is pre-configured, it's beautiful 🥹
I can't stop writing articles, thinking of products, new blogs & websites I could build with just a few clicks.
this energy is incredible!
watch me rebuild the v1 website from scratch!

👀 this is the full, uncut screen capture.
including typos! boy are there some good ones 😂
- logo, og image, favicon, SEO setup
- blog, search
- sitemap and...

Adding docs for various analytics setup, how do you feel about this type of guide?
Show me your favorite docs for inspo 😬
See for example.
My brain really enjoys these code diff examples. It's just easy for me to know what to do when I can see the full

@marc_louvion
This looks solid Paul! Depends on the product, Shipixen is an app that produces a boilerplate 😛
Pretty sure there’s a decently sized market for RN too 🙌
@mr_mcd
@LukeInTH
yes almost! Except it’s with mdx files to :)
You can essentially configure a website & blog with your branding, pages etc. & deploy without touching code.
There’s still a git repo behind at the moment but it could be extended to something more relaxed like dropbox down the line.
