Why We Closed the Live Demo (And What We're Building Instead)
A short note from the founder on why Unjumble moved from building in public to building in private — and what that means for early access members.
For the first few months, Unjumble had a live demo. You could go and use it, right now, for free — no sign-up required. And a lot of people did.
Here's why we changed that.
The gap between "demo" and "product"
The demo worked. It showed the core idea: paste your mess, get your top three. But it was rough. No accounts. No history. No polish. And increasingly, I found myself sending people to something that didn't represent what Unjumble is actually becoming.
The gap between the demo and the vision kept growing, and rather than close it with a series of half-finished updates, I decided to close the demo entirely and build the real thing properly.
What "building in private" means
It means the next thing people see will be the actual product — with accounts, history, the Whole Brain planning tools, and the support agent. Not a proof of concept, but something I'm genuinely proud of.
It also means the waitlist matters more than ever. Early access members will be the first in, with founding pricing locked for life and a direct line to shaping what gets built next.
The timeline
I'm not going to give a specific date, because I've learned that dates in early-stage software are polite fiction. What I can say is that it's close, it's coming, and it's better than anything I could have shipped six months ago.
