Shape what
we build next.

The best apps are built with the people who use them — not shipped to them. Labs is how we make sure the next si187 app is something you actually need.

What you get

Labs membership
is genuinely useful.

Early access to every app
Labs members get TestFlight access before public launch — every time. FPL Coach AI, and every si187 app that comes after it. First in, always.
Launch pricing — permanent
Labs members who join before launch lock in early-access pricing for life. Not a limited-time promotion — a recognition that you're here before the product is proven.
Direct line to the builder
Not a feedback form. Not a support queue. Labs members email [email protected] and hear back from the person who actually built what they're talking about. We read and respond to everything.
Roadmap influence
Labs members are the first people we talk to when we're deciding what to build next. Your frustrations and suggestions don't go into a backlog — they shape the next product.
Monthly studio updates
Real updates — what shipped, what didn't, what we learned, what we're changing. Not a newsletter. An honest account of what's actually happening inside the studio.
Attribution
If your idea or feedback shapes a feature that ships, we credit you in the release notes — publicly, with your permission. You're a contributor, not just a user.
How Labs works

Market testing done honestly.

Most "user research" is confirmation bias in a trench coat. We do it differently. Here's the actual process.

01
You join and we listen
When you sign up, you tell us about yourself — what you use, what frustrates you, what you've tried and abandoned. We read every single response. This isn't a database segmentation exercise. We're looking for problems.
02
We bring you real questions
Not surveys. Not focus groups. We'll reach out directly when we're working through a specific question — "how do you currently handle X?" or "what would make you switch away from the thing you use for Y?" Real conversations, not checkbox forms.
03
We show you rough work
Labs members see concepts before they're polished. Early screen designs, unfinished flows, competing approaches we're unsure about. Your reaction to rough work is more honest than your reaction to a finished product.
04
We tell you what we did with it
After every research cycle, we share what we heard, what changed as a result, and what we decided not to do despite hearing it — and why. Accountability goes both ways. If you give us your time, we owe you transparency about what happened to it.

The honest bit.

Labs isn't an advisory board. We won't always do what you ask. Sometimes what users say they want and what actually helps them are different things — and it's our job to figure out which is which.

What we commit to: we'll always tell you what we heard, what we built based on it, and what we chose to ignore and why. You'll never wonder what happened to the thing you suggested.

We also won't pretend that the research is the decider. The builder is the decider. Research reduces risk. It doesn't eliminate judgement.

What we're researching now

Live questions from
the studio.

These are the things we're actively trying to understand. If any of these resonate, email us — this is exactly the kind of input we're looking for.
