I’m Mattéo, the founder of Racine. I’ve been working on this project solo for the past six months, building a platform to reconnect people with local producers and artisans. This is just the beginning, over the next six months, we have tons of new features coming, including the mobile app. For now, Racine is available only in France, but we’ll be expanding soon across Europe and worldwide. I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and ideas. Thanks for checking it out and joining us on this journey!

A few months ago, I tried launching Racines using AI as leverage.

It was fast. Too fast.

I built quickly, shipped quickly, and convinced myself speed was progress.

But I cut corners. On architecture. On clarity. On product structure.

It worked… until it didn’t.

I hit technical walls.

Made wrong structural choices.

Overcomplicated some things.

Underestimated others.

So I stepped back.

Instead of stacking features on unstable foundations, I rebuilt everything.

Frontend.

Backend.

Architecture.

Product structure.

Racines moved from Next.js to Nuxt.js.

The backend was rebuilt with AdonisJS.

The offers were simplified.

The vision became clearer.

I also learned something important:

AI is a multiplier.

But if the foundation is weak, it multiplies chaos.

Today, Racines 2026 is live.

Cleaner.

Stronger.

Built to scale.

This time, not just shipping fast... but building right.

If you’re building, iterating, breaking, rebuilding... I see you.

Feedback welcome.
