Hey everyone! I'm Eric Benamara, the solo developer behind Dumble. 6 months ago, I started building an AI-powered IDE from my apartment in Paris. No team, no funding, no investors. Just me and an idea. Today Dumble has 146 features and 12 world firsts. The journey was intense 6 months non-stop, every day, solving problems nobody had solved before. Like making an AI that actually SEES what it creates (real-time screenshots + visual self-correction), or building permanent memory that never forgets. I'm here to answer anything: - How I built it alone
- The technical architecture (Tauri, Claude API)
- How I compete with Cursor ($60B valuation, 300 engineers)
- The hardest problems I had to solve
- What's next for Dumble
- What it's like being a solo founder in France Ask me anything!
