And I want to tell you about it, without asking Gemini or Claude to write me the speech. So, everything began with my Youtube channel, i had 2K subs (still do BTW), but i was tired of spending so much time editing the videos. My main content is about biographies on heavy metal bands, or songs/albums in specific, it required me searching the internet for images, then assemble the video adding transitions and effects. In parallel, Claude Code was surfacing. I always wanted it to try it.
One day, these two issues collided in my head, what if... I told Claude Code to help me build a tool to automate this tedious process of edition? I was skeptical at first, I had played with Gemini to make code, and man it was bad. I'm a developer myself for 20 years now, so i have some knowledge on that. But I went ahead with it, and as time went by the product was surprisingly good. At first I was uploading the videos in my channel (still am), but then I thought "mmm this could be helpful for other creators in my situation" Then Contentify was born. I started switching my product to a web app (it was a desktop app in its conception), and long story short, in 3 weeks i had a product up ready to test. It has been open to the public for one month now, didn't get good results, only 15 users (2 of them is my son playing, and 3 are mails I used to test). They tested and went away, never to come back Yesterday, I decided to launch in Product Hunt, hoping to gain some traction, I will keep trying to get spread the word about my creation because I really think it would help. I know many of you relate to this story, so I want to hear from your pain points. Maybe we can hug each other and cry about it xD Thanks for reading me. Pablo
