This 18-year-old dropped out of college, learned to vibe-code on YouTube, and built an app that scans your abs. 6 months later it’s doing $55K/month.
Meet Lino. In February he’d never written a line of code. He went to the gym with his friends and everyone kept bragging about who had better abs. Lightbulb: there’s no app for this.
He built V1 in Lovable over 2 months. Right before launching, he looked at it and said “there’s absolutely no way I can release this.” Scrapped the whole thing.
Rebuilt V2 with Rork in 1 month. First month: $7K.
AbMaxx lets you scan your abs, get a lower-abs score + body fat %, then follow plans like the “Summer Ab Shredder.”
16,000 downloads in the last 28 days.
3,000+ paying customers. $55K/month.
How he grew it:
> Big UGC influencer deals = “biggest mistake I’ve ever made.” Margins at 5-10%.
> Pivoted: gave one big fitness influencer equity instead of cash. Free ads + skin in the game.
> Took the same creatives from Meta > TikTok. Same ads performed 5-6x better because his audience is 15-30.
> Scaled on Meta + TikTok at 2-5X ROAS.
His stack: Rork Max, Supabase, SensorTower, PostHog, Sign.com.
That’s it.
His advice: ship in 7 days. Stop obsessing over the product.
Validate with faceless TikTok slideshows and a “comment APP and I’ll send it” CTA before you build.
“It’s physically impossible for you to lose as long as you simply just never give up.”
Dropped out freshman year. $55K/month at 18. Zero competitors in the niche.

Here are 10 GitHub repos that quietly print money while you sleep.

Repo → github.com/TryGhost/Ghost
4. n8n
Open-source Zapier. Sell automation services for $500-$2,000 per setup. n8n raised $14M because the agency model behind it works.
Repo → github.com/n8n-io/n8n
5. Supabase
Free Firebase replacement. Build a SaaS in a weekend, charge $29-$99/month. They raised $116M for a reason.

10. Penpot
Open-source Figma. Sell self-hosted design tools to agencies who refuse to upload client files to the cloud.

The difference between developers who build features and developers who build businesses is one decision.
Pick one of these. Fork it this weekend. Ship it next week.
The founders behind these repos already proved the model.
Save this. Share it with the developer in your life who deserves to break free.
100% free. 100% open source.

Les gens passent des heures à chercher des shops gagnants et à reverse-engineer des ads pour trouver les produits derrière.

J’ai donné des instructions très claires aux procureurs de la République pour que la réponse pénale soit implacable face aux casseurs et aux pilleurs.
Ce matin, 123 personnes sont incarcérées, en détention provisoire ou condamnées avec mandat de dépôt, et plus de 700 personnes sont ou vont être déférées. Merci aux magistrats, aux greffiers et aux agents du ministère mobilisés.

J’ai envoyé ce matin une instruction à tous les parquets de France pour leur demander de retenir les qualifications de criminalité organisée face à ces actes extrêmement graves.
Sous ce régime, les gardes à vue pourront être prolongées jusqu’à 72 heures, des géolocalisations et des écoutes téléphoniques seront possibles et, pour la première fois dans ce contexte, nous aurons recours à la reconnaissance faciale pour identifier ceux qui revendiquent des violences et des pillages, notamment sur les réseaux sociaux.

Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me "old," when I would NEVER call him "short and fat?" Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend - and maybe someday that will happen! – at Vietnam

A BIG THANK YOU to our legendary friend, @ElonMusk, for his incredible generosity in giving SpaceX Stock to millions of American children through TRUMP ACCOUNTS! This is exactly what was envisioned when we created TRUMP ACCOUNTS — Bringing together the GREAT PRIVATE SECTOR, Elon and so many more, to invest in our children, by far our greatest and most important asset, and give every American Child a piece of the American Dream. Thank you Elon! President DONALD J. TRUMP
I did. I gave one a single job: watch SF startups and tech trends for me.
Last night I asked it why a 19-year-old just raised $11M from a16z for a box that runs AI at home. In minutes it came back with the founders, the round, the similar startups, who got bought by Amazon and Meta, and the AI events in SF this fall.
From Paris, that's the gap. The trends start there, and by the time they reach us they're already old news. Now I see them the same week.
Next step: going to see it up close.
