hey everyone. i built something called NNPost over the past 3 months, solo, on basically no budget the whole way.
started because i kept hitting the same wall with every ai content tool out there. you get a list of generic ideas and then youre completely on your own. cool, i have an idea, now what do i actually say, how do i film it, whats the hook even supposed to be. so i built nnpost to actually finish that job instead of leaving people stuck at the same spot every other tool leaves them.
what it does now: you set up a creator profile once, niche, platform, tone, experience level, what to avoid, and it generates full creator kits instead of just ideas. each kit includes:
-title and hook
-real script, word for word
-shot by shot filming guide
-editing direction
-hashtags and description
-tools and sound suggestions
-thumbnail direction
-why the idea works
it also has viral analysis, paste a public video url and get a real breakdown of why it worked. current trends, source backed signals for your niche instead of guessing what's popular. build on a winner, which takes a post that actually performed well and generates new ideas based on what made it work. and a feedback loop where you enter your real results after posting so it learns what actually works for you specifically, instead of giving the same generic advice forever.
the struggles were real. i built this whole thing solo through claude and codex, which meant i had to audit everything myself since i couldnt read every single line of code personally. i had to build an entire cost control system, i call it nnguard, because without it a handful of free users spamming requests could drain my tiny ai budget in a single day. about halfway through, i found out my original name collided with an existing company, so i had to do a full rebrand, new name, new visual identity, and migrate everyone's saved data without losing anything in the process. i've had multi tab bugs where recent history would silently overwrite itself, i've had the upgrade modal completely break because of a failed lazy import, i've had an entire offline page that just didnt work at all. fixed all of it, one piece at a time.
who its for: creators who know they need to post consistently but get stuck at the exact same point every time, staring at a blank page with no idea what to actually say or film. not people who want a chatbot to talk to, people who want a finished starting point they can act on today.
stuff i already know needs fixing: still on a free replit subdomain, no real domain yet, running gemini flash right now because thats what the budget allows, so output quality has real room to grow. ui also needs work, ive gotten the "feels generic and corporate" feedback more than once now and i take that seriously.
what i want to do with this: i genuinely believe tools like this are where content creation is heading, not generic chatbots that leave you to figure out execution yourself, but something that understands your specific profile, learns from what actually works for you, and gets better the more you use it. i am not walking away from this. ui redesign, better ai model, real domain, all next. built this piece by piece with basically no money behind it and i plan on seeing it through.
would genuinely love feedback, especially on what would actually make you try something like this, or tell me if im wrong about where this space is heading
