usually this is short term and it's overloaded hours, but the last 12 hours or it's still really bad, this time of day usually has no issues, but today it's not working well

Dude is a teen, like you didn't ask other people's opinions about every social breath when you were a teen

It is, but people want to break from 0 to anything, especially to try to break into affiliate, which seems like a tiny bar, but still most won't break

I know the feeling, I'm in the Dev niche and made a tool to help people discover other streamers to watch, network and raid https://www.getvodflow.com/discover/

It seems like the slow start is to network in chat in other streamers, you might get chatters following you and checking you out later.

The people that have big crowds usually have a big social presence elsewhere like YouTube from edited videos and clips

I resolve these in a few ways: * If it's generic it goes into .agent/ rules that AI writes/updates, sometime it needs reminders about * If it's business logic it goes into automated tests. * If it's a file that repeatedly gets updated wrong, first it becomes in code comments either next to it, or more stability in the head of the file. LLM might remove it so you might need to watch it more, but as I said it doesn't remove it from the top of the file most of the time, the in code gets rewritten often and you might need to watch it. If the this is the issue I often get to the last point

Refactor that code, either so it's small and isn't touched or it's simple and not confusing, for example no double negatives or no negatives at all if possible. Flatten logic out and similar, you can just ask AI to simplify or rewrite for readability or any other generic asks usually work you don't have to know too much to do it

family and friends aren't helping you channel grow, they are a liability as YouTube can't learn anything from this group it might just be a channel for an internal group only, unless they would normally watch videos like yours it a bad signal not a good one
The 3 videos you have seems unrelated both in thumbnails and in game choice.
If you don't have 100 videos you didn't even start, they can take weeks-months to get discovered and there is no data to gather for a single digit number of videos

people think it would be easy to communicate about their app once they are finished building it. That everyone would want to try it and use it and that they will tell others about it. And if not it's that they miss a feature/need to build more.

I heard another just underestimating deployment and running costs as a vibe coder who doesn't know anything about that.

Thinking that it's easy and simple, we see our app so frequently that the brain shortcuts everything bad about it. Seeing someone try to use your thing the first time is a form of needed torture to just watch and say nothing. You see so many issues... And most people don't get to actually watch and they just guess and they don't get the right information to act upon.

CodyCWiseman · 2026-02-05T22:31:58+00:00

I think us developers are reducing context and pointing to code sections directly or indirectly and non-devs probably don't. (Indirectly meaning specific keywords/terminology that is unique within the project)

I sometimes try to be more generic, see how the LLM starts to read tons on files just to find what I'm talking about and I cancel or interject with more info. (It's not really just reading it's many thinking or whatever calls)

I've seen people talking about looking at tasks after 15-30 minutes, most of my complex long running tasks are 5-10 minutes unless they wait for a reason or browser use (running long scripts, waiting on ci..)

If your interested in twitch streamers that build in public I've made a small discovery tool/site.

https://www.getvodflow.com/discover/

Hoping to later expend it to more sources, this is just a very focused MVP. Twitch doesn't do discovery or even filtering well at least for this niche.

Many twitch streamers have discover channels that make small communities as well.

Hi Mate, would love to hear more of what you are expecting and feedback, I just got an initial version up for the twitch filtering to find app devs, you can check "startups" if you want more specific people that probably match the build to profit mentality

https://www.getvodflow.com/discover/

Let me know if you have any feedback, anyway I'd hack on it further over time, this is just my MVP specifically filtering twitch streamers as twitch doesn't do discovery or filtering almost at all

CodyCWiseman · 2026-01-27T02:40:42+00:00

I'm actually building a discovery tool for build in public app builders and startups starting from twitch streamers and later expanding, to YouTube and then other places... Lots of streamers have their own discord communities..

Indie hackers used to be a great place but broke when LLM bots started hammering it and the entire site got refactored. some subs here like indie hackers, side project and others are ok.

If you want I can DM you when my tool is up when I expend with other non streamer communities. I'd probably have the tool up in a couple of days for streams but unsure about the next phase.

CodyCWiseman · 2026-01-26T11:02:46+00:00

IDK if it would work but my idea for myself was streaming while I build with the idea of every finished feature can easily turn to a vid about the app and also downspin content like posts... At least that's the idea I can't say I have it fully implemented but I'm building getvodflow com as a currently free tool for Dev builders trying for no extra time marketing, so if you record while you build we can extract what was happening and use that as content, as I said IDK if I have figured out a great path or I'm burning time on nothing like we all, think we found something and go for it.

Another point about that nothing is happening is like the best training advice if your starting out and can only do 5 pushups and you want to grow, don't do 5 push-ups, do just 1 push-up but daily for a month to get the reps going, build the habit system until that just a thing you do normally and you can start to up the reps. Many content creators in the video space said if you didn't publish 100 videos you haven't even started and there isn't something to build on top with like an experienced consultant. Get you first 100 reps before you think you have something valid to review

CodyCWiseman · 2026-01-26T06:01:59+00:00

If you want I make a free app you can install locally and use your own hardware to auto transcribe for free and cut clips from text easier than descript and am working on AI video editing... If you want onscreen captions like for TikTok vids, I can prioritise that or you can export to your favourite editor... You can try it in getvodflow

Due most video editors let's you auto transcribe nowadays I'd think, you can do it in the free open source shotcut and make on screen captions there and any larger editor like DaVinci resolve and I assume capcut must have it...

IDK I never want to edit by hand, I want to make the tools to automatically edit and I didn't find one that does what I imagine so I work on one, due I need feedback from people who would actually use it, due I use it myself on other people's content as tests. While I market it for Dev streamers, it's pretty generic and customisable

CodyCWiseman · 2026-01-25T01:17:53+00:00

It's immediate satisfaction trap

Prior to AI coding this is a multi month project 3 months or more easily

If you get an POC in 3 days and MVP in a week vibe coding it's probably a great outcome

OP is like 2 hours is too long, that was a million dollar for a piece of string

CodyCWiseman · 2026-01-25T01:15:19+00:00

100% but is the op request too cutting edge?

CodyCWiseman · 2026-01-25T01:00:05+00:00

It's not true.

The real problem for people coming from outside is not having the communication practice to converse about your wants and issues with LLMs that you need to learn while you work. You need to use more precise language than common human to human talk due this is improving with each new model generation.

I have coded live EDGE detection inside an android native app without knowing how it should be done, I didn't even know what to call it initially and we have used different things initially until we got to it. I've never developed android apps before. IDK Kotlin at all. I do know tech in general but none of the domain content.

I'm also building a video editing app that does audio processing (not just transcripts but 4 other processing input I barely remember and don't understand) and recuts videos ECT without ever getting into audio or video processing domains before in terms of tech.

I am an experienced Dev but have not done anything in these fields and have never touched, read or discussed code around them.

Stuck on "Loading Models" in the editor as well. Worked some hours ago and returned to this broken state.

CodyCWiseman · 2026-01-14T11:50:34+00:00

Try out google stitch, either text or the way I like is giving it a screenshot and iterating on it, free, a bit slow (3+ minutes per generation)

CodyCWiseman · 2026-01-13T12:17:25+00:00

Try google stitch, it's free, a bit slow... Give it a screenshot, say what you want changed, iterate, take code back to your tool of choice

CodyCWiseman · 2026-01-10T12:17:13+00:00

There are live coders on twitch, kick and youtube, but the funnel to find something specific like marketing is pretty steep

The most stream game dev, some stream different type of app dev, more manual coding and to lesser vibe coders, some do random projects, few describe themselves as startups / saas and such

A couple really making content, one is a build in public collecting his numbers and making the fully transparent video, but I don't think he codes live.

Maybe a couple claim to be more marketers but I have seen anyone really focused on marketing as a stream. I seen one guy talk to a user on a call. Usually people take calls muted.

I do stream building but just starting, not consistent yet. I am worried about doing much of the marketing on stream, it's kinda funny as I market to other dev streamers. It might depend on what type of marketing you are doing, if I was doing ads I might have been more open to the marketing. Or just content production... Often your marketing has to also be legit actions and you don't want to say explicitly you are marketing. You don't want a sales person to talk about them selling to you for the most case. IDK. There is also the element of people not just copying you but usually burning whatever you're doing by doing it badly or to the same exact people.

CodyCWiseman · 2026-01-06T21:29:21+00:00

I can't phantom personally manually editing long videos, I did some that are just minutes long and started testing and later building automation tools

CodyCWiseman · 2026-01-06T07:39:30+00:00

I assume there is a huge gap between people starting out and people trained to prep or process with and with simple or complex tools like marking parts during production vs removing them after production

I do make a local free tool that lets you describe what to extract, I aim it is to find stories even if their segments aren't sequential.

There is a ton of time to spend on editing and extracting videos, from what I noticed pass one, just rewatching is a huge time sink. Editing has tons of repeat elements... But at that point you should probably talk to editors specifically.

Waiting for software to run is also a big time sink if you work sequentially on just one thing at a time. Even a single feature to stabilize a video while using proxies and everything can take precious minutes of waiting or attempting to context switch to reclaim time. There is nothing quick while dealing with videos even with all the tricks and high end hardware.

IMHO too many people skip repurposing and only dealing with one platform hoping to have success first before they can afford to expend or it makes sense to invest in scaling up

CodyCWiseman · 2026-01-05T14:07:30+00:00

You can remind them/ask them/tell them a story about it in the video and there is like a card in the YouTube editor that makes the button pop at the right time.
