Show HN: Launching VideoToPage - How I built it and stack
Hey there, so after overcoming imposter syndrom, I decided to
launch one of my products to product hunt.
https://www.producthunt.com/posts/videotopage I started thinking
about this project right after Vision came out. I thought how cool
would it be to have a product demo you recorded turn into a full
interlinked documentation with introductions, getting started, code
examples and so on. So I built it and reached a Prototype where
this was possible. But it took quite some time to process, and it
started to get expensive. Then I did a little bit of SEO research
in Ahrefs and found out that there is not even a search demand for
that. Then someone told me "give people what they want" and it
seams people just look for transcriptions and to repurpose it. So I
ditched the screen vision analytics part for now and focused on
just the spoken text. Not sure if this was the right decision and
if I now removed the main sauce from it. We will see. The project
was built using a stack that allows me to ship within days. It is
based on firebase, react and nestjs and nx. I have everything in
Typescript. Even though firestore might be tough to work with, I
have wrappers around it that help me solve most of the issues. So
this is pretty nice. One thing I am proud of is a think I called
AI islands. Imagine a model, like a actual database model, but from
a business layer perspective. So in videotopage every model can be
extended with AI capabilities. Each model/repository has certain
functionality, like editing, deleting, adding, modifying. Now this
per-model functionality is exposed obviously to the UI, so that the
user can manage his content. Now, all this capabilities are also
exposable to an dedicated AI agent. This still does not sound new,
but in this case, each model has actually its own AI assistant
history, memory and tool access. This way, when you are navigating
through the page, you will always see related ai assistance that is
focused only on that you see. Also it updates everything you see as
if you would do it. This can be sometimes a magical experience,
when you look at your list of items with several features in it,
and you just start telling the bot what to change and you see it
actually change in front of your eyes. So this AI Island thing is
definitely something I will be shipping in all future products.
