## What it does
Shipper takes a description and produces a working web app, mobile app or Chrome extension. David Ch rebuilt the original into a second version and runs it with no free plan at all, which is unusual for a developer tool.

Product Hunt, Reddit, high-intent search and building in public on X brought the first customers.
