Shipaton is officially underway and will run through September 30.
This pinned megathread is the central spot to share your concept, test out early ideas, and help each other along the way. Building solo can be tough, so keep coming back to this thread throughout the month to post updates, collaborate, ask questions, and exchange opinions on UI, architecture, or monetization strategies.
Registration & Ship KitRegistration remains open throughout the entire event (August 1 - September 30). You can start building before registering as long as your app is published for the first time within the event window.
If you want to use the sponsor perks, discounts, and credits in the Ship Kit, it's worth registering early. Several perks unlock immediately upon sign-up, with more unlocking as you hit build milestones.
Joining the ConversationWhether you are competing, building casually, or just lurking:
- Haven't registered yet? You can jump in at any time or just follow along.
- Not competing or missed early prep? You're still completely welcome to join the discussion, give feedback to fellow devs, or share what you're working on.
To introduce your project, drop a comment using this structure:
- Concept: (Short summary of the app and who it's for)
- Payment Model: (Freemium, subscription tiers, hard paywall, one-time purchase, etc.)
- August Goal: (What do you plan to complete by the end of the month?)
- Where you need help or feedback: (UI/UX, paywall strategy, feature scope, stack choices, etc.)
- Native & KMP focus: On this subreddit, project updates and technical discussions should focus on native Android or Kotlin Multiplatform.
- Give and get feedback: If you share your project, take a few minutes to look through other comments. Answer questions, offer constructive critiques, or help someone refine their idea.
Drop a comment below, jump in on other projects, and let's build great Android (and iOS) apps!
