Ship Happens

A lightweight “decision diary” for solo developers: before starting a feature, users record the hypothesis, estimated effort, expected outcome, and confidence level. Weeks later, the app prompts them to review what actually happened and surfaces patterns such as chronic underestimation, features that never produced value, and types of work that consistently pay off. It solves a real blind spot for engineers building side projects: learning whether their product instincts are improving, rather than merely shipping more code. Start with a simple web app plus GitHub issue linking and scheduled review emails; later add AI summaries of recurring decision mistakes.
