hans thisen · founder,
scale by tech
I’m Hans. Awkward part first, before I sell you anything. Most people who join a community like this never ship one thing. They read the posts, watch one call, and it’s March with an empty folder.
That isn’t a character flaw. It’s what happens with no deadline and no starting file.
So this is built around both. A 48-hour deadline, and a template pack you open instead of a blank editor.
It’s $8 a month. I’ll show you my own math on that number further down, because it explains more about this room than any promise would.
Here’s the deal. If you have a spreadsheet three people edit and one person understands, keep reading. If you don’t, close the tab. I’d rather you did.

no percentages anywhere on this page. nobody measured any, so i'm not inventing any.

readme
sec 03 / 08
Most internal tools die in a queue. Six-month sprints. Tickets nobody reads. I ship a working link in 48 hours instead. Start in the browser. Give them a URL. If they use it, iterate. If they don't, kill it and move on.

The 48-hour
protocol
Four steps. The same protocol behind every microapp shipped in the community.
- 01
Plan
Define the workflow or calculator logic. Map inputs to outputs, constraints, and edge cases. No code yet.
- 02
Build
Generate the first pass with the vibe-coding prompts and template pack. Hours, not sprints.
- 03
Test
Tighten the UI and the edge cases until the microapp does its one job perfectly.
- 04
Ship
Publish on MicroApp.live. Share the link, watch real usage, iterate the same day.
levels
sec 05 / 08
Three levels. One path.
Start browser-only. Add automation, AI, and accounts only after the tool has earned it.
