Meet the Residents #2: Soraia 🇵🇹

We're introducing each of the residents joining the Uneed Residency in Nantes, France, from May 26 to June 2.

"A chill person who builds stuff out of passion."

That's how Soraia describes herself. But honestly, when you look at her track record, the "chill" is hiding a lot 👀.

Her first product, MiroMiro, is a Chrome extension that lets you inspect any UI and extract design assets. She launched it on Product Hunt and landed #2 (beating Tibo, by the way 😏).

What happened next caught her off guard: people she'd never reached out to started writing blog posts and making YouTube videos about MiroMiro all over the world. Pure organic visibility. Every indie hacker's dream!!

The challenge now? Conversion. Getting visibility is one thing, turning it into revenue is another — and Soraia is honest about it: it was her very first product, and monetization is still a real work in progress.

Side note: who here actually made money from their first product 😱??

What she's building now

More recently, she's been working on PocketUI, a personal design inspiration library connected to AI coding tools. Another browser extension!

Why she's joining the residency

What she's coming to the residency for is simple: meet other builders in person, learn from their experiences, and walk away with concrete ideas to apply to her products.

More residents coming soon

We'll introduce all of them before the residency kicks off 😊.

Best,

Thomas from Uneed
