What WarpShip is

Most teams run on a handful of small things that were never worth a project: a spreadsheet three people fight over, a form that is really an email thread, a report someone rebuilds every Monday.

WarpShip is where those become real tools. You describe what you need in plain English, and you get a working thing with its own link, running on its own, that your colleagues can open. No code, nothing to install, nobody to wait for.

What a tool actually is#

A tool is a small web application. It has a link, it remembers things, and it keeps working without anyone maintaining it.

Some of what people build first:

• A log for something the team currently keeps in a spreadsheet
• A form colleagues fill in, where the answers land somewhere useful
• A dashboard showing numbers people keep asking you for
• An approval queue that replaces a chain of emails

How you build one#

You talk to it.

Build me a way to log damage on incoming pallets. Photo, which supplier, and a note. Warehouse staff should be able to add one, and I want to see them all by supplier.

It writes the tool, shows you a preview in a few seconds, and puts it online when you are happy. If it is not right, you say what to change, in your own words, and it changes. You are never expected to read the code, though you can.

Where tools live#

Every tool belongs to a workspace, which is usually your company or your team. The workspace is what holds:

• The people who can build, and the people who can just use what has been built
• Any database you connect
• The rules about who can open what

If you signed up on your own, you already have a workspace to yourself. Nothing needs setting up before you build your first tool.

Who can see what you build#

Nothing you build is public unless you decide it should be. A new tool is private to you, and you choose from there: specific people, everyone at your company, or anyone with the link.

That decision is enforced when someone opens the link, so a tool you have not shared cannot be reached by guessing the address.

What it costs#

Building and running tools uses credit, and you start with some. Small tools stay running on the free size indefinitely. Plans add more tools, more people who can build, and a monthly allowance of credit.
