Short squeeze life

About

I started my career as a professional sailor in France (because im French Btw), working on luxury yachts and catamarans. I've always been passionate about finance and entrepreneurship, which led me to build ExactApp with a friend to solve a real problem he was facing. Today, we're using AI to make that solution even better. Made with heart. ❤️

Just finished my landing page — would love feedback

Hey everyone, I just finished building the dev version of my landing page and I d really love to get some feedback on it.

I can t share the LP directly here because it includes the Stripe dev funnel, and if the Stripe dev funnel is accessible, you d basically get premium access to the tool for free.

That being said, if you re interested in giving feedback, I d really appreciate it I m only looking for constructive feedback . I genuinely want to improve and make it better.

Feel free to DM me on Twitter, LinkedIn, or anywhere else. I ll give you dev access, and you ll be able to use the product for free.

I built an app because autocorrect kept ruining my texts in French

Hey everyone !

Quick story I'm French, and if you've ever typed in French on macOS or iOS, you know the pain. Autocorrect "fixes" words into things you never meant to say. I once sent "je suis excit " (which has a very different meaning in French than "I'm excited") to a client. That was the last straw.

So my co-founder and I built Exact a tiny AI-powered writing assistant that lives in your menu bar. You press Ctrl+Space in any app and it instantly fixes spelling, grammar and syntax. No copy-paste, no browser extension, no switching tabs. It just works wherever you type emails, Slack, iMessage, even code comments.

We're a team of 3, bootstrapped, and honestly still figuring out a lot. But the core product is solid and we use it ourselves every single day.

Unpopular opinion: your typos are costing you deals and nobody tells you

Nobody will ever tell you "I didn't reply because you wrote 'definately'."

They just won't reply.

I've been on both sides. As a founder sending cold outreach, and as someone receiving it. And I can tell you: a typo in a first message is like showing up to a meeting with your shirt inside out. Nobody says anything, but everyone noticed.

The problem isn't that spellcheckers don't exist. It's that they don't exist where you need them.
