DEV Community: Mohssine Chedgane

🚀 Day 1 of 90 – My $10 $1K Indie Journey

Mohssine Chedgane — Fri, 20 Jun 2025 19:41:10 +0000

Hey devs — today marks Day 1 of a 90-day challenge I set for myself.

I’m starting with just $10, a laptop, and a dream to escape the noise, build profitable digital products, and hit $1,000/month online income — solo, indie, and raw.

🧠 What I Did Today

Honestly… today wasn’t super productive.
I didn’t ship code or design anything major.

But I still count it as progress, because:

✅ I reviewed a few GitHub projects for UI inspiration

✅ Revisited my current template code

✅ Saw that 2 people downloaded one of my free portfolio templates on Gumroad
→ One from Australia
→ One from Poland

It might not be money yet, but it’s signal — people out there found something I made valuable.

🎯 Why This Journey Matters

This challenge is more than just building products. It’s about:

Staying consistent

Building in public

Proving that you can create income from anywhere, even with zero budget

Learning, adjusting, and moving forward — no matter how small the step

📅 Tomorrow’s Plan

Get back to work on my portfolio template site: Mico Supply

Continue development on my SaaS idea: BookVan

Try to build the harder parts using v0 Premium

Share my Day 2 update — no matter how the day goes

From $10 and a Laptop to Building a SaaS Empire: My 90-Day Escape Plan

Mohssine Chedgane — Thu, 19 Jun 2025 23:00:29 +0000

I’m Mohssine, a solo developer from Morocco with only $10, a laptop, and a dream. This is the start of my journey building SaaS and selling templates to escape the noise, prove myself, and reach $1,000/month in 90 days. Join me as I build in public, share my wins and struggles, and hustle hard.

Who am I?
Hey everyone, I’m Mohssine — a self-taught full-stack developer from Morocco. I switched from economics to programming in 2020 and ever since, I’ve been grinding to build a better future.

The struggle:
I don’t come from wealth. I don’t have a team or big backing. Right now, I have $10, a laptop, and my passport. I’m battling self-doubt, the pressure of where I come from, and the noise of a world that sometimes feels stacked against me.

The ambition:
But I’m not here to complain. I’m here to build. My goal is to create SaaS products and digital templates that bring in $1,000/month within 90 days. More than money, I want freedom — freedom to live life on my terms and prove that starting with nothing is just the first chapter, not the end.

Why build in public?
Because transparency keeps me accountable, connects me with other builders, and hopefully inspires someone else who feels stuck or unseen.

I’ll be posting updates, lessons, code snippets, and the real unfiltered journey of building a startup solo from scratch.

Thanks for reading. Let’s build something real.
