From customer support to dev to product at Doctolib. Quit to be an indie hacker, freelancing on top to provide for the family until I make it.

19 seconds from App Store install to Claude coding for the Claude Code mobile app I'm building.

Really proud of that one to be honest. Cause that took time. 👇

Before/after of https://t.co/W6xDnsTMTE signup screen. No need to convince at this point so less is more

I make apps and DJ at the same time how cool does that make me

[Mehdi Gatbache @MehdiGatbache]

@IndieBeaverHere Might need to accept that rythme and that I'm old enough to be allowed to take naps

Note to self: stop comparing your way of working to people without kids

i make $40,000/month with my solo online business

my friends @marclou, @levelsio, @robj3d3 all make a ton of money also from the internet

but we almost all work in our own ways… different working hours, different goals, different people…

so this is how i work

[Mehdi Gatbache @MehdiGatbache]

@Alexislamouv Man I got Remy from Ratatouille, be happy

[Mehdi Gatbache @MehdiGatbache]

@marclou Somehow seeing some of your products fail makes me feel like I could win too, thanks for sharing the failures 🫶

Wow pretty cool. The img2threejs skill really is amazing. And asking for low poly makes the difference between image and 3D output very small!

Took 1h, $60 and 3000 lines of code with Opus 5.

The prompt : "Use @replicate api to generate a low-poly 3D of something complex that screams AAA JRPG, then use img2threejs to build it. allow me to play with it with controls."

[Nicolas Zullo @NicolasZu]

Here's a follow-up, this time with a more ambitious building (+animation, yes!) and with GPT-5.6 Sol (High), in the same thread.

The prompt:

"Use the ImageGen skill to generate a low-poly 3D mining rig, then use img2threejs to build it. Allow me to animate it with a button."

I’m out of AI for the 1st time how do you guys deal with this. I feel like I lost my sword in the middle of the battlefield. I feel threatened 👀

[Mehdi Gatbache @MehdiGatbache]

@robj3d3 @canivibecodeit @medhansh Bro I love you but

[Mehdi Gatbache @MehdiGatbache]

Real question what’s the max money you’d give monthly to @OpenAI or @AnthropicAI to have unlimited access to AI 24/7?

If I’m honest I think $500 too

[Virgile RIETSCH @virgilerietsch]

@MehdiGatbache @AnthropicAI I need a $500 plan bro

[Mehdi Gatbache @MehdiGatbache]

A Codex dev told me I should add Codex support to https://t.co/W6xDnsTMTE so I’m gonna do it that’s all for today thank you

[Sergio Mattei @matteing]

@MehdiGatbache yes

[Mehdi Gatbache @MehdiGatbache]

@matteing Ok codex guy it I’m doing it because it’s you.

[Mehdi Gatbache @MehdiGatbache]

Should I add Codex support for https://t.co/W6xDnsTMTE 🤔

I focused on Claude cause that’s what I used, and thought I wouldn’t cover Codex until I get enough traction. But I got this question a few times so I wonder.

[Arjun @ai_vulcan]

@MehdiGatbache @Codecademy Does it support Codex?

[Mehdi Gatbache @MehdiGatbache]

@edibudimilic @thekitze Thank you!

[Mehdi Gatbache @MehdiGatbache]

Sounds something we’ll say in 50 years like “Proudly AI-free for 6 months”

[Mehdi Gatbache @MehdiGatbache]

@ryanam26 I’m absolutely out of tokens. I’ve been AI-free for 3h now 😭

[Mehdi Gatbache @MehdiGatbache]

@ai_vulcan @Codecademy No 🫠 promised myself I wouldn’t support codex until I got a bit of traction! Would you use it if it did?

[Mehdi Gatbache @MehdiGatbache]

I remember a time when I was learning to code with @Codecademy on the train everyday. And now I code from my phone with https://t.co/W6xDnsTMTE while others are doomscrolling to their destination

[Mehdi Gatbache @MehdiGatbache]

@AnthropicAI please make a $300 plan and take all our money thank you

[Mehdi Gatbache @MehdiGatbache]

[Mehdi Gatbache @MehdiGatbache]

I almost started with “Yo how does..”

@yacineMTB So is it like one repo per family member or how do you organize

[Mehdi Gatbache @MehdiGatbache]

Dude has a repo for his toddler. GitHub is the new GDrive.
