今回、約20組の #Shipaton 受賞者にインタビューしましたが、面白い共通点が一つありました。それは、彼らが実現したアイデアはShipaton期間中にポッと出たものではなく、そのずっと前から練られたもので、コンセプトとして常に彼らの頭の中にあったものでした。また、そのアイデアは実際のユーザーによってテストされていたのです。
実現する価値のあるアイデアとは何か?それを今日から「常に」考えることが2027年で受賞するために一番重要な行動です。アイデアは一つである必要はありません。もし、そのようなアイデアが短期間で見つかれば、Shipaton 2027を待たずにリリースしてください😆
From shipping apps to taking over Times Square.
Our #Shipaton winners got the billboards, the live demos, and a visit from Shippy.
Not your average hackathon prize.
What a way to close out #NewYorkAppWeek! 📷
Do you think any of the big app companies are as worried about optimizing their apps for the Duo as we are? Literally at a wedding right now keeping my Claude running remotely.
This is what #AppWeek is all about. Stepping outside of your comfort zone, meeting new people, learning from everyone's experiences, and building a community of like-minded individuals.
This is my first time driving a Tesla, and I’d have to say I really enjoy it. The one pedal driving took a few minutes to get used to but is super convenient.
This Tesla I’m renting doesn’t have full self driving and I feel like that’s a feature I’d need to try first before committing to purchasing one however, overall I’m really enjoying this rental.
My X timeline is giving me iPhone Duo FOMO
I don’t need one
I don’t need one
I don’t need one
I don’t need one
I need one
“The App Space is Dead”
“Your app won’t go anywhere”
“Ai slop”
Make that app bro you’ll never know where it takes you.
Attending App Week in New York has lit a whole new fire under me. I really want to take GameNight to the next level, and after this week I finally feel like I know how.
I spent the week around people who've built and grown apps way bigger than mine, and every conversation gave me something to bring home.
Great to meet you Maya! Great coffee and great conversations. That app dev getaway idea is too good not to do. Can't wait to watch more of your podcasts and talk again soon!
It was so great meeting Matt over coffee and chat about building apps, UGC and so much more!
Thanks @CodedVengeance for hanging out and huge congrats on the 2nd place win in the Gaming Influencer Category Award!

GameNight took 2nd place in the Gaming Influencer Award at @RevenueCat's #Shipaton 2026 🏆
Six weeks ago GameNight wasn't even on the App Store. I built it because the hardest part of jumping on with friends was always figuring out what to play.
Since launch:
• 1,700+ users
• 160,000+ swipes through games
• App Store rejections, a crash loop, and a database that buckled the day the launch reel took off
Thank you to everyone who downloaded it, sent feedback and put up with my bug lists.
I spent Shipaton shipping GameNight, an app that ends the "what should we play?" debate with your friends. Never imagined it would end up in Times Square!
On Oct 22 I'm demoing it at @RevenueCat's #Shipaton Demo Day, 10am to 6pm ET. Come tell me what you think.

Meeting a ton of amazing people at App Week so far. Currently at the TikTok Level up event and I can’t get over this view, it’s amazing!
Made it to New York!
NY App Week starts now. If you're in the city this week building apps or games, my DMs are open.
Headed to NYC tomorrow for NY App Week.
Quick look back before I go. GameNight went live on the App Store 5 weeks ago, built to answer one question: what should we play?
Since then:
• 1,000 users in the first 11 days
• 1,600+ now
• 125,000+ swipes through games
• 150,000+ games imported from Steam libraries
• One Instagram reel about the Battlefield 6 free weekend took daily signups from about 5 to almost 80
It hasn't been smooth. Three App Store rejections before launch, a crash loop, and a database that buckled the day the launch reel took off. Each one taught me something I'd have learned the hard way later anyway.
What's next: Haunted Week lands in GameNight on Oct 24 and the Android version is in testing.
If you're at App Week and building apps or games, let’s meetup, would love to heard what you’re working on!
