What had to be solved first
Modecraft needed to reduce setup complexity while shipping freelance delivery 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: freelance delivery.
Used a steady release cadence with clear boundaries across UI, API routes, and data model changes.
What changed after launch
“We shipped a client pilot in nine days and passed security review with minimal changes.”
