**The Problem That Broke Me** After spending 4+ hours every Sunday manually converting one podcast episode into LinkedIn posts, Twitter threads, and Instagram content, I had my breaking point. I was finding incredible educational videos but had zero time to adapt them for my audience. **The Painful Discovery** Working 9-to-5 in tech while trying to build a personal brand was brutal. I'd bookmark amazing YouTube videos, thinking "this would make perfect content for my audience," then watch them collect digital dust. Manual transcript extraction took forever. Platform optimization was guesswork. Quality suffered when I rushed. Speed suffered when I didn't. Existing tools either: - Required expensive subscriptions for basic features - Generated generic, soulless content - Couldn't handle the nuanced adaptation each platform needs - Failed at extracting clean transcripts from complex videos The "I need to build this myself" moment came when I spent my entire weekend creating 3 posts from one 20-minute video. There had to be a better way. **Building forthefeed.com From Frustration** Instead of complaining, I started coding nights and weekends. The technical challenges were real: - Clean transcript extraction from various video platforms - Platform-specific optimization (LinkedIn's professional tone vs Twitter's casual brevity) - Maintaining the original creator's voice and insights - Handling different video qualities and audio clarity My first MVP was embarrassingly basic - just URL input and basic transcript output. But those first 10 users (mostly fellow founders) gave brutal, honest feedback that shaped everything. Breakthrough came when user Sarah said: "This saved me 3 hours last week, but can you make the LinkedIn versions more discussion-focused?" That feedback led to platform-specific prompting. Current capabilities: ✅ URL → clean transcripts ✅ Platform-optimized posts (LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram) ✅ Tone preservation ✅ Hashtag and engagement optimization ✅ Multiple format outputs from single input **Real Beta Metrics (50 Users):** - Average time saved: 2.8 hours/week - Platform consistency improved by 73% - Content output increased 4x - 94% would recommend to other creators - Top request: AI voice adaptation for video content **Where I Need Your Wisdom** I'm at a crossroads with our next major feature - AI voice adaptation that could turn your written content into video scripts matching your speaking style.
