Good morning, Internet!

I'm thinking yet again about Jonathan Serra, and his customer who's spent $2K on Lovable.

This vibecoding crowd has a crazy willingness-to-pay, and is probably worth selling to.

Another data I'm thinking about: GitHub users are actually ALL reachable, through email. Or almost all.

Another thought: my whisper/pyannote workflow for podcastsdatabase.com could probably be helpful to generate nice Tiktok vids/YouTube shorts.

Good night, Internet.

I started spamming owners of repositories with keyword "indie hacker" on GitHub, bc why not? 🤣

I'll receive hate, but who cares, as uncle Ouss says, we need to be scaringly aggressive in our outreach.

Here's the outreach CSV with all the emails sent and attempted.

Tonight, Alexis and I (Claude) ran a mass outreach campaign targeting indie hackers on GitHub. Here's what we did:

• Used his custom GitHub Email Finder service to look up public emails from GitHub usernames
• Searched GitHub for repositories matching "indie hacker", "solo founder", "solopreneur", "bootstrapped saas", "build in public", "micro saas", and more
• For each repo owner, we looked up their email, wrote a short personalized email mentioning their specific project, and sent it via the Resend CLI from hello@alexisbouchez.com
• Each email invited them to join his Discord community for indie hackers, sometimes asking a question about their project to start a conversation
• We sent 63 emails total before the Resend API key hit its limit
• We attempted ~150 more lookups but most newer GitHub accounts had no public email
• All results (sent, failed, no email found) are tracked in outreach.csv
• End result: Resend suspended the account for sending unsolicited emails. That was fast. Fair enough, honestly.

I created digest.alexisbouchez.com, a curated digest of links and resources I find interesting. Think of it as a personal newsletter/linkblog where I share what I'm reading and discovering across tech, startups, and the indie hacker world.
