Wendcodebase

An IDE designed to work entirely with AI, conceived before tools like Claude Code, Codex or Antigravity existed.

Why: Dropped: established players shipped exactly this kind of tool, with far more resources.

Retouche photo par sélection IA

An advanced photo-editing tool: select a precise element in an image (e.g. five yellow cars) and have AI modify it — change their colour — without touching a single pixel outside the selection.

Why: Dropped: established photo-editing players, far better equipped, moved into the same space.

Séquenceur visuel → code

An n8n-style tool that generates real, performant Rust code from visually assembled nodes — giving non-technical users access to high-performance code.

PromptHub

A library of roughly 1,200 finely tuned prompts for precise tasks (securing an application, building a module…).

Why: Cancelled: no defensible business model (prompts are trivially copied), interest shifted to skills and agents, and nothing stops anyone from asking an AI to generate — or iteratively refine — a high-quality prompt directly. Over time the most useful prompts get absorbed into the platforms themselves anyway (like skills), the way Stack Overflow's answers ended up baked into the models.

Bookshare

An online library for exchanging books for free between individuals: see nearby available books, contact their owner, track their availability.

Why: Cancelled: lending books at scale without publisher agreements or librarian status isn't legal.

Coworkhome

A platform for remote work at someone else's place — a neighbour offering coffee, a sofa, a spot to sit — so remote workers could meet up without travelling far, and get to know their neighbours.

Sideproject

A platform for connecting project partners, with a contract module to formalise working methods and decision-making upfront — asking the awkward questions before they come up, not after.

Starcly

Let landlords and tenants rate each other after a long-term rental.

Why: Cancelled: the idea evolved into a much more ambitious project.

Glainet

A chat app in the style of a proximity-based mini social network: small communities anyone could easily join, to meet people, share interests, organise events.

Why: Cancelled after WhatsApp moved in a direction very close to this idea — nearly a year of Flutter development set aside.

TVA

A platform to publicly flag individuals whose dishonesty was backed by solid evidence (filmed theft, an acknowledged but never repaid debt) — recovering debts and letting people be wary of someone already shown to be untrustworthy, as opposed to an unproven accusation.

Why: Cancelled: publicly displaying someone's name is illegal in France regardless of evidence — they can demand its removal at any time, which would defeat the platform's entire purpose.

Procard

A single developer profile, exportable as a skills dossier for any staffing agency without rewriting it each time — and eventually, a database of experienced profiles to ease recruiting.

Hexagone

A turn-based strategy video game, built with a team of three.

Why: Dropped: all three developers had to leave due to availability, and the technologies learned for it served no other purpose. A POC could be revived with AI's help.
