Build something for the boat.
We’ll add it to the catalogue.

AI has changed who builds software. If you can describe what you want, you can ship it. Send what you’ve made. We’ll add it to the apps, pay you in Shimbiri credits, and share it across our channels. Building commercially and want to bill for your add-ons? That’s the partner channel.

The deal

What counts

A prompt template. A wrapper around an existing tool. A weekend hack on Cursor or Claude. A real app. A how-to video for a marine workflow. The bar: useful on a boat, not production engineering.

What you get

Your build can run on just your own install of Shimbiri. No review, no waiting. When the same idea lands from a few captains, we lift it into the shared catalogue so every Shimbiri user gets it. Credits scale with the reach.

How to send

Pick whichever channel you already have open. WhatsApp message, Facebook DM, LinkedIn note, email. A link, a screenshot, a description. We read everything. We say yes more than no.

The feed

What captains are building for the boat.

Shimbiri ships every week. Builds can stay just on a captain’s own install or get lifted to the shared catalogue.

Telemetry

Daily vessel briefing on WhatsApp

The Chief Engineer now writes a morning briefing and sends it to the captain’s phone: battery, fuel, weather, anything that wants attention overnight.

Purser citations in chat

Ask about a fault code, get the manufacturer’s procedure with the page number from the actual manual. No "the AI hallucinated my engine spec": every answer traces back to a page reference you can open and verify.
