How I Built Clify in 30 Days

A lot of people are asking how I built Clify. Here's the honest story:

Day 1-3: I was frustrated with YouTube Shorts. Opened VS Code, wrote 50 lines of JavaScript that hid Shorts on my browser. It worked. Barely.

Day 4-10: Shared with 5 friends. They wanted keyword blocking. Added it in a weekend.

Day 11-15: Friends shared with friends. Now 50 people using it. They wanted multi-language support. I panicked. Then built it.

Day 16-20: Someone said "I want stats." Built the dashboard in 3 days of caffeine and confusion.

Day 21-25: Beta testers found bugs. Fixed them. Cried a little. Fixed more.

Day 26-30: Realized 5,000 people were using something I built in my bedroom. Panicked again. Then launched on Product Hunt.

Today: 500,000+ videos blocked. 35+ languages. 5,000+ users. And I still panic every time someone finds a bug.

Tools that made it possible:

→ @code - 12 hours of coding daily

→ @fontawesome - Made it look professional

→ @GoogleChrome - The platform
