Hacker Residency: Day #9

Hey everyone, I hope you're doing well 👋🏻

I'm starting to write this article the same evening, just before leaving the villa to head back to the hotel.

I know it's Sunday, but I had an INCREDIBLY productive day 😂. I made a lot of progress on Uneed and Writizzy. I don't know if you'll understand much, but here's my notebook for the day:

Okay, I won't lie, I also spent part of my afternoon watching Kaamelott (a French tv show) 👀

## Steve's product

The day before yesterday, I told you about talking to Steve about his new project. It was super quick: after just 4 days of work, it's ready, and Steve is okay with me telling you about it!

He doesn't have a name or website yet, but that won't be long, and it doesn't stop me from explaining the concept to you and sending you the link when it's available 👀.

The idea comes from an observation I think everyone will agree with: with the rise of vibe coding, we tend to forget about tests. Don't lie, I know you don't write them anymore 😂.
So Steve imagined an AI agent that would allow you, from stories written in natural language, to test your code! For example, you could write:

The user is on the landing page. They click on the signup button. The signup form is displayed, and the user can fill the fields, validate, and the account is created

And the AI would go check that everything works properly, directly in your CI!

The concept is interesting, right 👀?

Writizzy

I realized I never really told you about my new project, Writizzy. That's normal! Even though it's already available, I haven't officially launched it yet.
Tomorrow, at the Hacker Residency, I'm going to do a quick presentation and demo of the product. I'll post it here so you can see it 🙌🏻!

With my cofounder, Hugo, we made a simple observation: the internet is increasingly flooded with AI-generated content, and it's not going to stop anytime soon. I don't intend to debate whether that's good or bad haha, but we both think one thing:

People are going to increasingly look for authenticity on the internet.

And that's why we think personal blogs are going to come back into fashion!

Except that today, blogging platforms have quite a few problems:

• They're focused on AI
• They're very expensive
• They're complicated, full of plugins and superfluous features

With Writizzy, we want to take the opposite approach to all of that:

• No AI
• A platform with few features by default, but extremely well thought out and designed
• If you want additional features (newsletter, comments, analytics, etc.), you activate them, and you have them.
• A generous free plan and very accessible pricing.

We still have a lot of things to do, but the first version is already functional, and you can absolutely start your blog. We even already have a customer!

BUT I need your opinion 👀.

In the coming weeks, I'd like to organize an event: give away a year of premium Writizzy subscription to everyone who manages to write an article per day and post it the same day on social media, during 30 days!

What do you think? Would you participate? Do you have other promotion ideas?

See you tomorrow friends 👋🏻
