WIP is an acronym that stands for "Work in progress." It is commonly used by creators of projects that are not yet finished, such as a piece of software, painting, video, essay, or building design.
The acronym functions as a disclaimer to let people know that what they are experiencing is still being worked on. This is common when the creator is looking for feedback from a fresh pair of eyes (AFPOE), such as an artist who is sculpting artwork or a web designer making a website for a client.
You may see it in real life in various ways like written on a note attached to a drawing. Or you may see it digitally like in an email with a design attached or in a description about source code uploaded to a repository.
