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’ve spent the last four days secluded on a tiny island in North Germany shooting and editing the new @getfernand product demo video. This place has literally three times more sheep than people.

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

POV: Balancing a 9-5 job and $50k MRR side project while keeping your wife (and co-founder!) happy

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

Superhuman-like inbox. Mintlify-like knowledge base. Chatbase-like trained chat AI agent. @getfernand now does it all in one calm, human-first product. Still only $29/user/month.

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:

I'm about to do the most awkward thing of my career Bit frightened, but also excited to see if it works or was just plain stupid

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 🤯

Am I the only one who never made the connection that a11y also spelled ally? Learning everyday 🤯

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

Product leadership at Google right now: "JUST MAKE THE AI BUTTON BIGGER!!" I've been using Gmail for 18 years now, and never been that close to replace it with something else. Sad.

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 ;)

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 🤯

We're currently at our Dec. company retreat with @cnicodeme.com. A tradition is to cook something extravagant for Saturday's dinner while working on a new meaningful feature we could ship that same evening. This year: Beef wellington + shared collaborative drafts for @getfernand.

Bootstrapping: a visual representation. Oil on canvas, 2024. 😬

Co-founder breakups are one of the most common reasons startups fail. I feel so lucky that my co-founder @cnicodeme.com and I have found a dynamic that’s rock solid over the 15 years we collaborated together. It's a bit unconventional, so I thought I'd share:

You can try a million things to reduce churn, but nothing will beat this: - Relentless focus on uptime and product quality (even if your product sucks, it should do what it advertises reliably) - Obsessive customer support Everything else comes second

Running @ImprovMx taught me a surprising lesson: reliability often trumps innovation Founders think they need to add features to stay relevant, but the truth is that a boring, reliable service beats a flashy, half-baked one every time. Hard thing is to balance it out

I never thought reducing work to 4 days a week would boost productivity, but it has. More rest = sharper focus. I'm just procrastinating less, and spending more time actively working on the things that matter. It’s counterintuitive until you try it.

ChatGPT is sending decent traffic to us as from August. This seems legit and it checks out with the discussions I have with our customers but I'm wondering why it started so abruptly. Is anyone seeing anything similar?
