I am working on VideoToBe.com - and my stack is NextJS, Postgresql and FastAPI.

Claude code is amazing at producing code for this stack. It does excellent job at outputting ffmpeg, curl commands, linux shell script etc.

I have written detailed project plan and feature plan in MarkDown - and Claude has no trouble understanding the instructions.

I am curious - what is your usecase?

That seems to be a great example of precisely the sort of program an AI would be good at. A small focused product that only does one thing. Mainly gluing together other people's code. It's a polished greenfield project that does one tiny bit of focused functionality.

Interestingly, this guy has been making pretty much the same app as you, and live-streamed making it on youtube:

Looks like he's now pivoted to selling access to his discord server for vibe coding tips as I can't find a link to his product.

But if we're honest here, it's not going to take a ton of code to make that. All the functionality to do it is well documented.

Many people here could make a competitor in a week, without agentic AI, just using AI as a super-charged SO. The limiter pre-AI (aside from AI transcribing it) would have been reading and implementing/debugging all the documentation of the libraries you're using, which AI is great at circumventing.

Your product looks really good, and is an excellent example of what vibe coded AI is great at. I hope you're getting good traction.
