hey. i'm Thomas, a french dev.
in january 2025 @quentin_chrrr and i teamed up with @bambino_moon on his shopify app. it was doing $500/m.
today it does $60k mrr, running on 5600 shops.
before that we tried a lot of things. ecom went badly for a long time. we still run trading bots on the side, that one worked out.
here's what i actually believe: marketing beats product. you can get to $5k mrr with mid ai slop. you can also do $0 with something genuinely great that nobody ever hears about. it's a balance, and when you get both right, you print.
but that's the easy part. real scale is a different problem.
building got cheap. ai turned shipping an app into a weekend thing, so everyone ships now. which means making an app is worth close to nothing. what's worth something is monetizing one, at a serious stage, while owning data.
that's the moat. not the code, not the idea. the data you collected that nobody can generate from a prompt. ai doesn't do that part for you yet.
so if you're building something you might sell one day, the product has to be designed around that from day one. most aren't.
that's what we do. we build the product with you, around the moat. not from a spec you hand over, the thing itself.
we'll have opinions on your positioning and your marketing, and we'll tell you. we just won't run the campaigns. that's not the part we're good at.
last thing: i'm writing in english from now on. more people to talk to, that's the whole reason.
if your product is stuck, dm me.
athla, the sport app we're building, counts your sets per muscle EVERY week
and when it's off, it tells you. like way more pushing than pulling
sounds basic. but when you train 4 to 5 times a week after work, who adds that up by hand

i started a business because i didn't want a boss
and yet my coach sends me the program and i follow it to the letter
the gym is the ONE place where i'm happy to be told what to do

how i keep training while running a software company
- i have a coach. my coach sends the program, i follow it, zero thinking
- i got that second coach for one reason: to SAVE time
- 4 to 5 sessions a week, all mixed: lifting, running, weightlifting, wods
- no carbs at night. learned that with my first coach and i sleep better
- a race on the calendar helps. did the toulouse hyrox in doubles, then the toulouse half on nov 1st in 2:27
- i don't count my hours at work, so the gym is the one thing i don't have to plan
what's your setup if you run a business and still train?
athla, the sport app i'm building, is made by 3 of us. and the 3 of us use it ourselves
for me it's 4 to 5 sessions a week, my coach sends the program and i just follow it
so every screen gets tested by a tired guy logging his sets after a long day at work
the part i care about MOST: sleep right next to sessions. you see which nights your best sessions came after

Beaucoup de force !
L’e-commerce c’est dur.
En Q4, c’est pire.
Et avec le coût des ads qui t’étrangle, Zuckerberg te fait bien comprendre que t’es qu’une merde.
Alors tout le monde court après le shiny object : le produit winner, la créa winneuse, la dernière trend, le plan VIP à 2'000 boules.
Et dans tout ce bruit on oublie l’essentiel : un bon site, une bonne créa, une bonne offre. Ça, aucune IA au monde ne te le livre fait main. Il faut réfléchir, tester, et accepter qu’au début c’est en partie une loterie.
Pire : les algos (Andromeda, coucou) te poussent au volume. Toujours plus de créas, toujours plus vite, toujours plus cher. SURTOUT ce Q4.
Mais il y a un truc que presque personne ne regarde.
Tu dépenses 100 % de ton énergie à faire venir du trafic… et 0 % à ce qui se passe une fois qu’il est sur ta boutique. 97 % de tes visiteurs repartent sans acheter. Tu as payé Meta pour chacun d’eux. Et tu ne sais même pas pourquoi ils sont partis.
C’est pour ça qu’on a sorti @qstomy_
@qstomy_ , c’est un agent IA de vente et de support, natif Shopify, qui bosse 24/7 sur ta boutique. On l’a construit avec des marques, des dropshippers et des media buyers qui vivent de l’e-com, pas des formations.
🛠 Ce qu’il fait concrètement :
→ Il répond à tes visiteurs en temps réel (taille, délais, compatibilité, “c’est quoi la différence avec…”) et les pousse vers l’achat au lieu de les laisser filer.
→ Il recommande le bon produit, gère l’upsell et récupère les paniers hésitants.
→ Il absorbe ton SAV (suivi de commande, retours, échanges) directement branché à Shopify.
→ Et surtout : chaque conversation devient de la data. Objections, questions qui reviennent, produits qui bloquent, angles qui convertissent. Du vrai insight client, pas un sondage à 3 réponses.
💡 Pourquoi ça change le ROI de tes ads :
Le même budget média, mais plus de visiteurs qui convertissent = CPA qui baisse mécaniquement.
Et les insights des conversations, tu les remontes dans tes créas et tes LPs. Tu ne devines plus les angles, tes clients te les donnent.
Booster le ROI des ads ET chopper un max d’insights clients. Les deux en même temps. C’est ça Qstomy.
Installation en quelques minutes depuis le Shopify App Store, aucun dev requis.
🎁 Pour le lancement :
-10 % avec le code QSTOMY
Et pour tous ceux qui prendront l'app d'ici une semaine nous offriront à deux d'entre vous 5'000 Euros de budget pub
Si tu fais du e-com, du dropshipping ou que tu gères des boutiques pour des clients : on se voit sur @qstomy_

Has anyone else been experiencing issues with Shrine?
It looks like they recently deployed an update that broke all websites using it

anyone found something cheaper than higgsfield for ai video?
most of what you pay there looks like presets sitting on top of seedance, and you can hit seedance directly for a lot less

I’m not a political guy. I rarely even talk about politics.
But do we actually realize the state of our country?
A young student had his hand destroyed by a grenade during a protest. And somehow, the entire debate became: “He tried to pick it up” vs. “It was thrown at him.”
But that shouldn’t even be the main debate.
The fact that we’ve reached a point where grenades are being used against citizens during protests should disturb everyone, regardless of your politics.
We’re arguing about who touched the grenade instead of asking why a grenade was there in the first place.

Lately, the more time passes, the more detached I feel from everything.
I forget things. Days blur together. I keep working, building, chasing bigger numbers, more money, more freedom… but I’m not even sure what I’m chasing anymore.
For a long time, I thought wealth was the goal. That once I reached a certain level, I’d finally feel satisfied.
But every milestone just becomes normal, and then I start chasing the next one.
And sometimes I catch myself wondering if I’m actually happy, or if I’ve just become very good at staying busy.
I don’t really have a conclusion to this. Just wondering if anyone else has ever felt the same.

everyone says the data is the moat now. i say it too, so this one is on me as much as anyone.
but a lot of the people saying it have a table filling up that nobody has opened since the day they shipped it.
collecting is the easy half. going back to read it is what gets skipped, because it's slow and it usually tells you you were wrong.
if you can't name one thing your own data changed this month, that's not a moat yet. that's a database bill.

half the roadmaps i see are just a competitor's changelog.
i look at what other apps ship too, so i'm not going to pretend that's beneath me.
but shipping their feature three months later gives you their surface and none of the reason it worked for them.
they built it because they saw something in their own data. you saw a screenshot.
that part doesn't come from watching them.

we barely talk about the trading bots, and that's on purpose
@quentin_chrrr and i have been on them for about a year and a half. two ftmo accounts funded at 200k. an hour a month plus monitoring.
the second you post about trading online you smell like a scam, and most of the time that reaction is correct.
so, plainly: a backtest is the past. ten profitable years in a row says the process held, it doesn't say it will hold. what a bot does is take the mental out, and the mental is what makes people lose, not the strategy.
it's a side thing. moonbundle is the job.
Notre churn est passé de 22% à 4% en 12 mois.
Un truc que je referais beaucoup plus tôt si je relançais une app Shopify aujourd'hui.
Tu te fais un shop + un thème full vierge, tu installes ton app et tu fais tout de A à Z comme si tu la découvrais.
Genre vraiment tout, sans tes raccourcis, jusqu'au premier truc publié de ton app.
Et direct tu notes chaque endroit où t'as dû réfléchir deux secondes. Chaque fois que t'as ouvert un autre onglet pour vérifier un truc.
C'est exactement là que les gens abandonnent, sauf qu'eux ils reviennent pas te le dire.
On va faire du design forttttt
