marclou celebrates that @ByArtorius just exited Worldmap, a fun directory site for listing startups "on the map", built amid the buzz of a recent launch. The site was doing $1.3K/mo, hit Top 5 on Product Hunt, and went from launch to exit in just 3 weeks — a showcase of how AI accelerated the whole build-to-sell cycle.
