Most developers fail at marketing because "do marketing" never becomes a task. shipsolo fixes that: its AI reads your source code or brief and generates specific marketing to-dos alongside dev tasks, each scored by impact per minute. Marketing work that beats another refactor rises to the top of the same list you already work from.
Why solo builders pick shipsolo
Marketing as concrete tasks, not vibes
The AI turns your code or brief into specific marketing to-dos scoped to your actual product and audience, not a generic "post on social media" someone put on a listicle.
One ranked list for dev and marketing
Marketing tasks carry impact and effort estimates like everything else, so impact-per-minute scoring decides honestly. When a launch post beats a refactor, the post is on top.
The over-building escape hatch
The milestone journey runs from idea to MVP, launch, first customer, and beyond. Past MVP, moving forward means users and revenue, and the tasks that get you there are marketing.
Follow-through built in
Email reminders put marketing tasks in your inbox with mark-as-done links, and your public build-in-public page turns shipped work into something worth pointing people at.

Frequently asked questions
▸Why do developers struggle with marketing?
Because building has a clear next step and marketing usually does not. "Improve onboarding" becomes a ticket; "do marketing" stays a guilt cloud. shipsolo turns marketing into scoped tasks with impact and effort estimates, so it competes on the same list as code.
▸Can AI generate marketing tasks for my app?
Yes. shipsolo reads your source code or brief and generates concrete marketing to-dos matched to your product and stage, each with impact and effort estimates so they slot into the impact-per-minute ranking.
▸How do I balance coding and marketing as an indie hacker?
Stop deciding by mood and let a score decide. shipsolo ranks dev and marketing tasks together by impact per minute. Near launch and first customer, high-leverage marketing naturally rises above marginal code improvements.
▸What kind of marketing tasks does shipsolo create?
Specific, finishable ones sized for a solo builder: tasks scoped to your actual product rather than generic advice, each estimated so you know what it costs and what it buys before you start.
▸Is this included in the free plan?
The free tier includes 2 projects with AI task generation and impact scoring. Pro adds more projects, email reminders, Studio, and API plus MCP access for €5 per month or €36 per year.
