Free guides for AI founders
Shipmunks is a resource site created by David, a solo founder based in Scotland. It provides practical guidance for solo founders across five core areas: SEO and AI search, backend and stack, AI agents and tools, growth, and money and operations. The site distinguishes itself by ensuring every post includes verifiable elements such as test results, real data, or templates that readers can directly apply. The content covers a range of technical and business topics. Examples include comparisons of database technologies like SQLite, Postgres, Neon, and Supabase, evaluations of ORMs like Drizzle and Prisma, and guides on AI agent costs and configurations. Business operations are addressed through resources like dunning email templates and analyses of payment retry settings from providers like Stripe and Lemon Squeezy. The site also features ContextBolt, an SEO tool that provides keyword data, live Google results, and Search Console integration within Claude. The primary audience is solo founders and small teams who need actionable advice. The workflow for a user typically involves selecting a topic of interest, reading a post that presents a specific problem or question, and reviewing the data or template provided to form their own conclusion. The site emphasizes transparency by showing its working, allowing readers to validate the information and apply it to their own projects. Shipmunks functions as a curated knowledge base for the practical challenges of running a solo business. By focusing on measurable outcomes and reproducible methods, it aims to save founders time on research and implementation. The content is structured to be immediately useful, reflecting the creator's own experience as a solo developer navigating the same challenges.
