Hey, I m Alex Saint

Not looking for the obvious 'use a VA' or hire freelancers.

What s one thing you do that makes delegation actually work for you as a founder?

Could be:

A way you brief people

Hey,
I ve been a software engineer (backend) for over nine years and have been wanting to build something on my own for a while now. I have ideas, good planning skills, and the discipline to execute, but unfortunately, I lack the experience as an entrepreneur, which I believe is an important aspect. This has led me to consider finding partners to help me bring my ideas to life or collaborate on new projects. However, it s been challenging to find people who are committed, structured, have a long-term mindset, and maintain positive energy.
Many people get excited about a project initially, but then they disappear or lose interest when results don t come quickly. And unfortunately, I m not in a position to hire people at the moment.
Has anyone else been through this? How have you found people who are truly committed to the long haul?

Caution: We re treading on thin ice.

I understand why big companies lobby for better conditions in their field. I see it more as a form of collective interest.

You write a post.

• AI optimizes the headline.

• A/B test decides the layout.

• Analytics picks the winner.

• SEO tools rewrite your words.

All of it works.

But suddenly, everything sounds the same.

For me, the best monetisation model is CapCut (especially that psychological side of that).

They let me use their free desktop version the whole time, so I started being dependent on them.

So many indie makers launch like this:

• alone.

• no hype.

• no crew.

• no plan.

• just vibes.

They think it s noble. if it s good, people will notice.

But here s the problem:

When you're a 9-5 employee, it's relatively easy to determine when your work starts and ends.

But what about when you work for yourself?

Single people probably have no boundaries in this, but a completely different scenario occurs when you have a family.

No shame.

We ve all nodded along while someone drops tool names like gospel.

But deep down, you re thinking:

I ve opened it 5 times. Still don t know what I m looking at.

Let s play this out.

• You re not full-time.

• You re not VC-backed.

• Life s already happening.

• And your calendar hands you exactly 60 minutes a day to build something meaningful.

So now what?

No time for endless roadmap debates

Most people think they have a launch problem.

Truth is, they have a positioning problem.

You could build something groundbreaking, even get upvotes, but if the story doesn t click.. nobody cares.

At Climatize, we re celebrating the one mom we all share: Mother Earth.

And we re doing it with some climate action, beyond flowers and brunch.

Why? Because she s weathered rising heat, heavy storms, and a whole lot of take without much give. So, we wanted to change that this weekend. Let s Climatize her celebration, together!

I'll start, I can't believe I didn't know this -

A friend taught me earlier today regarding the "plus trick", also known as "plus addressing", for Gmail addresses.

You simply type in + after the prefix of your email address along with any text, and any email sent to this will still arrive in your inbox.

Hi Hunters!

1. Product Landing Page

A cohesive brand look helps your audience quickly capture the value you re delivering.

What tools make your work processes smooth while keeping you sane?

[Solutions for maintaining health are also welcome since your work results depend on your well-being and energy management.]

I am a marketer, and here are my go-to apps/tools:

I've never coded. Not a single line. But I m tired of just watching cool ideas fly by. So here I am turning a wild idea into something real with AI

as my co-pilot.

My toolkit? ChatGPT, Cursor, Replit.
