Road to 1,000,000 #Votap users Day 65 | Current: 1348

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.

Hey all, BIG announcement! We just crossed 2 million users on Scrimba This marks a massive step towards our goal to be the place to learn and build with code. If you haven't already tried Scrimba, come on in! We still have many completely free courses from frontend, fullstack, backend and AI as well as a lively discord of friendly folks all around the world who help inspire, support and motivate one-another every.single.day.

I built Contentify because I run my own YouTube channel heavy metal biographies content

The problem wasn't ideas. It was time. Every video took me 20-40 hours. Research, scripting, hunting for images that actually matched the topic, recording voiceover, editing. I have a full-time job. I don't have 40 hours per video.

• What's the source of the images? Google

• What are you generating voice with? EDGE TTS

• How do you generate the script for the video? Using Gemini

• Can i upload my own script? or an audio with a narration of my own? Of course! You can do both. If you upload both, make sure the audio matches the script

• How long does it take to generate a video? About 45 minutes for the max tier

• What resolution and format is the final video? 1080p

• Can I preview the script before the video is generated? Yes, and you can edit it too!

• Can I edit the images selected before generating? Yes!

• How many videos can I generate per month on the free tier? 2

• What happens when I reach my monthly limit? You have to wait until the end of the period, or upgrade your plan!

• Do unused videos roll over to the next month? No

• What languages are supported for the script and voiceover? English and Spanish, at the moment

• How long are the videos? Is there a minimum or maximum duration? Around 15 mins for highest tier

• Can I choose different voice styles or accents? yes, you have 8 to 10 voices to select depending on the selected language

• Does Contentify add a watermark to free tier videos? Yes

Let me start from the creator s perspective:
I personally don t have a product (apart from hiring people for creative work or offering personal consultations).

But as a creator, I constantly share content, insights, and information, value that helps me build trust (for free). Based on that perceived expertise, people eventually decide to work with me (a paid service).

On Product Hunt, I can see many people launching their products using "vibe-coding tools" like @Lovable , @bolt.new , or@Replit

I reckon many people who created something with them are usually developers who didn't have enough time for building a side idea before, but with AI, they could make it happen.
