What had to be solved first
PromptDock needed to reduce setup complexity while shipping weekend deploys in a reliable way suitable for a solo-led product.
How the team executed
Started from ShipAI.today defaults for auth, billing, and deployment-ready architecture.
Scoped the first release around one core flow: weekend deploys.
Used a steady release cadence with clear boundaries across UI, API routes, and data model changes.
What changed after launch
“Deployment path is boring and reliable. That was our biggest blocker before adopting this.”
Lucas Owusu · Solo Developer, PromptDock
