I’m redesigning Fernand’s marketing site, and this is what my Figma looks like right now. It’s an absolute mess. Frames everywhere, half ideas, screenshots, random experiments, things that don’t belong together...

Cyril and I sat together during our last offsite and set a simple goal: reach $100k MRR in 2026 with Fernand, just the two of us. Zero hiring, like the good old days when we got started in his parents basement. It sounds crazy ambitious, but the way we work makes me think it could be realistic.

I finally shipped GitHub integration in Fernand ✨ Same DNA as the Linear one: stupid-fast and out of the way. Keyboard shortcuts for everything. Works from ⌘K + Sidebar controls. Customer report → GitHub issue → fix → close the loop

I'm the one that picked all 365 images for our inbox zero UI in 2025, yet I'm always amazed at how my brain fights through the inbox to get things treated and know which picture will show today I'm not even an inbox zero kind of guy The human brain is so easy to manipulate

I dressed like a 1960s French postman and handed out 1,000 letters today. A massive digital marketing conference is happening in my city this week: 70,000+ people, not far from our target audience. We didn’t get a booth. I wanted to do something different:

We sold our SaaS for 7 figures in January. While researching our buyer, I saw he often mentioned the MFM podcast. Small thing—but it made me feel we were from the same corner of the internet. Trust like that isn’t engineered. It just shows up.

What in the German bureaucratic fuck is that? There's a law telling you should report incoming wire transfers above 12.500€ from abroad. This is the registration screen asking for a reporting number, but which? Bonus: you can only call the hotline from a FIXED phone line 🤯

Customer: Your app sucks on mobile Me: Hmm... yeah, I know, it's not incredible... PWA has limitations with what we can do... 😕 Customer: It's so small I can't read anything Me: Hmm...? > Sends screenshot > Turns out they had checked "Desktop site" on Chrome and forgot to untick

Today, we're releasing Shared drafts, a feature transforming how product teams collaborate when replying to customers. It's perfect for founders delegating their inbox to VAs or working with support agencies 🚀

I'm selling the "SaasNext" domains in .com, .co and .io. I initially had in mind to create an alternative of ProductHunt but @tsanlis.bsky.social is doing a way better job with Uneed.best. If you go to the website, you'll see the initial idea I had but it's all fake right now ;)

Listing of domain names "saasnext.co", "saasnext.com" and "saasnext.io"

I'm excited to announce that ImprovMx.com has been acquired! It's crazy to think that what we bought as an unmonetized side project for $5,000 seven years ago turned into a $350k+ ARR business with 3000+ paying customers. All of this while still working a 9-5 at a big tech firm 🤯
