Hey, I m Alex Saint

I m a solo indie hacker based in Paris, and fun fact I only started coding thanks to AI tools. I got inspired watching Marc Lou s videos on YouTube, picked up some tools, started building and tweeting.

Not gonna lie.. I didn t expect this.

I launched IndieCru.sh with no team, no funding, and no idea how people would react.

It ended up #8 on Product Hunt, right next to companies backed by millions.

I ve been thinking a lot about how we build now.

It s weird.

Somehow, we started treating the internet like a scoreboard.

Ever see a product quietly launch and then blow up?

No funding. No ads. No big team.

Just momentum, like it came out of nowhere.

I used to think it was luck.

I didn t plan this.

I just got tired of launching into the void.

You know the drill:

You build for weeks. Maybe months.
