A calm playground for your tiny tools and weird ideas.
Build and test personal apps, experiments, and utilities — by yourself or with a few friends.
See what you can buildWhat is drydocks.app?
A sandbox to try ideas by building them, not just listing them. A low-pressure place to tinker alone or with collaborators — where half-baked is perfectly fine.

Why a drydock?
Too many ideas live in notes apps and half-finished repos. They deserve more than a TODO comment and less than a full startup.
A drydock is a safe harbor for weird experiments — a place to pull an idea out of the water, inspect it, tinker with it, and decide if it's worth launching.
Not every idea has to become a startup. Some just need a weekend and a quiet place to build.
