Premier SaaS : 4 mois de code avant d'avoir 1 prospect.

Mentionable : 5 prospects avant d'avoir codé une ligne.

La différence n'est pas dans ma méthode. Je raconte ce qui a vraiment changé entre les deux 👇

J'ai lancé mon premier SaaS sans appeler un seul client. Pas un.

4 mois de code en aveugle. 10 000€ en prestataires inutiles. La quasi-totalité de mes économies passées dedans.

Alternance dev, payé 600€ par mois.

Un pote me propose une mission freelance à 15 000€ sur 3 mois. J'ai cassé l'alternance dans la foulée.

Les 2 ans qui m'ont fait passer de la galère aux 50k de côté 👇

Tronc commun de 42 bouclé en 5 mois. La moyenne, c'est entre 1,5 et 2 ans.

Ce qui m'a fait tenir ce rythme, ce n'est pas un trait de caractère.

Pourquoi la performance est presque toujours une question de contrainte 👇

À la piscine de 42, j'étais entouré de gens qui sortaient de fac.

J'arrivais avec une crainte que je n'aurais jamais avouée : qu'ils comprennent les choses plus vite que moi.

C'est l'inverse qui s'est passé 👇

[Alex @alxmkr]

J'ai envoyé 500 CV pour trouver mon alternance dev. Une seule entreprise m'a répondu.

Boulangerie, maçonnerie au black, ébénisterie interrompue. Aucun recruteur n'avait de raison rationnelle de m'appeler.

Quand j'ai arrêté la boulangerie à 21 ans, je voulais devenir dev.

J'ai mis 3 ans, un Covid, une formation d'ébéniste et un doigt coupé pour m'y mettre.

La trajectoire crade qu'on cache dans les bios, sur Substack 👇

[Alex @alxmkr]

J'ai été boulanger 7 ans. Payé 5€ de l'heure, heures sup au noir.

J'ai voulu arrêter pendant des années sans oser. Je me croyais trop bête pour faire autre chose.

Je raconte ce que ces 7 ans m'ont vraiment laissé, et la suite du parcours, sur Substack

1 week on LinkedIn. 5 free trials. 10 conversations.

I wasn't expecting this.

I launched Mentionable 7 days ago. It tracks if AIs like ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity recommend your brand when people ask for solutions.

One user tried it and said: "Cool, but I also want to see the actual traffic AIs send me, not just the mentions."

That's exactly how I build. Ship the minimum, get feedback, iterate.

In 1 week the product doubled in features. All from real conversations. Zero from my assumptions.

More and more people discover products through AI.
Not Google. Not ads. AI recommendations.

Do you know if ChatGPT recommends you today?

Free 7-day trial. Link in comments.

Building in public is powerful.

But documenting everything? Pure hell.

Here's what I realized:

Instead of typing notes all day, just record a voice memo → AI transcribes it → converts it to a post.

No more Apple Notes. No more Google Docs.

Just creation.

Idea hits → grab phone → record → post ready to publish on LinkedIn/Twitter in MY voice.

Not some generic template anyone can copy.

This is how you actually build in public without the documentation hell.

Free plan available.

@mscode07 You have 10 ideas a day.
Turn them into posts by speaking.

@kalashvasaniya How long will it take to get the first results?

[Alex @alxmkr]

@FinxterDotCom Thank you, it's very relevant 🙏

[Alex @alxmkr]

Roast my landing page 🫵

i'm building Mentionable, a tool that tracks if LLMs recommend your brand when people ask questions

like if you sell organic coffee, does ChatGPT mention you when someone asks "best organic coffee in France"?

don't be nice, i want the real feedback 👇

@ethanmuirrr Thank you for your feedback 🙏

[Alex @alxmkr]

@MaximeMB_ It’s automatic

[Alex @alxmkr]

My lead magnet wasn't converting.
Added one feature. 2 free trials in a day.

Before that? 11 free scans, 0 upgrades.

People scanned their site, checked if LLMs recommended them, looked at competitors. Then closed the tab.

Didn't get it. Tool works. Data's there. Why nobody paying?

Retested my own scan as if I was a prospect. Saw the problem.

I built a diagnosis with no prescription.
"You're not visible on ChatGPT." Ok cool. Now what do I do? Nothing. No next step. No action. Just a fact.

I don't want to just know if I'm recommended. I want to know why and how to fix it.

So I added AI analysis after each scan. Not just a score. Insights on positioning. Actual steps to improve visibility.

Scan tells you where you are. Analysis tells you what to do.

2 trials in 24h. We'll see if it sticks.

Ever had a lead magnet that worked "too well" without converting?

Google indexed it, got ~200 impressions/day for a few days, position 14-15 avg.

Then 2 days ago: drops to 0. Literally zero impressions.

Is this the classic "Google sandbox" thing where new domains get tested then buried?

Or just Search Console data lag?

Anyone experienced this with a fresh domain?
