POWERFUL TECH STACK
Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't
Skip the boilerplate and focus on your core product with our complete, production-ready tech stack.
Why We Chose Open SourceDocumentation
We believe in the power of open source to drive innovation and collaboration. By making ShipKit completely open source under the MIT license, we ensure that developers have the freedom to inspect, modify, and customize every aspect of the codebase. This approach not only builds trust with our community but also enables faster evolution through shared knowledge. Unlike proprietary solutions that lock you into specific vendors, ShipKit puts you in control of your technology stack while providing a solid foundation to build upon. Our commitment to open source means transparent development, community-driven improvements, and the assurance that your projects remain yours to own completely.
