ok, no jokes, i'm crying 🥹
today is the demo day of our "startup summer" courses where our students show what they have learned in 2 months and what product they have built.
my @clip_wing team just finished their demo and i'm insanely proud of them and i'm so sad that i can't be in the office with them now and hug everyone and tell them how cool they are!!!
omg i can't, you are the best @Ms_Kyzya_@itsmagellan@keteella@urainbow_s@cr1of0xx Polina, Ekaterina and Zhenya 💔
and that's one of my favorite slides:

i’m sooo happy to share that https://t.co/LvxSIXiyNp beta version is live 🥹🥰🚀and i really need your feedback!
some things still work stupidly:
🫠 the clip downloads only after the 2nd “download” button press
🤐 the last phrase of the clip is not spoken to the end
🌐 it doesn’t work in safari so please use chrome
🪲 when loading the 2nd video in a row - sometimes the app “breaks” and loads previous video again, you have to clear the cache to load a new video
my team will fix it, but we still can use it already! https://t.co/mVgJNUP1gO

For last 2 days I worked with websockets and eventBus from the @paralect's library. And now I understand it much better🎉
And thanks to the best mentor @cr1of0xx and my amazing team @urainbow_s@itsmagellan@Ms_Kyzya_! I really like to work with you, guys ❤️

ClipWing's demo🎉 I'm so proud to be a part of this cool project and such amazing team! And It's a pleasure to see how much work we have done in these weeks
#buildinpublic
i think this is the longest text in my life 🙈 but i still can't resist sharing it with you. 3-weeks ClipWing progress is here🚀
week 1
my friend (and co-founder) that Igor often records podcasts, but very rarely uploads them, because cutting pieces, and adding a cover takes him a lot of time. and 3 weeks ago we had a call. the call lasted 1.5 hours, and during this time i made the design of the entire app from scratch! it sounded like a joke, but no.
a couple of days later, in my 9-5 @paralect, developer courses began - they take place every summer, and students with no programming experience learn to write code and develop real products. one of the products was my ClipWing. i got a team of 4 young guys @keteella@itsmagellan@urainbow_s@Ms_Kyzya_ and a dev mentor @cr1of0xx. our first daily call was on july 6th.
to say how excited i am is an understatement. for the first time, i see a developed product that matches the design as much as possible! during the first day of work, the guys made a complex gradient button, because of which any experienced developer would blow my mind...
week 2
a week later, the video was already uploaded, short clips were obtained by selecting fragments from the video transcription. an automatically AI-generated cover image was added in accordance with the automatically AI-generated title, which was generated based on the selected fragment from the video.
in the meantime, i'm already in full swing recording a demo video, collecting users in waitlist, and marketing ClipWing. the product is not yet launched, but i already got 4 paid users! some numbers:
🤩 49 users in the whitelist
🥹 4 pre-orders ($60 MRR)
🔥 792 unique site visits
week 3
a week later - pricing plan update, billing... and the selection of several different fragments and gluing them into 1 short clip!
today guys showed me that it is possible now to adapt the video to 3 different formats (vertical, horizontal, square) and, and download the result.
week 4 (upcoming)
all that is left to launch the MVP is to make ClipWing work faster. and i have no doubts that we can do it 🥹
someone will say that it's not surprising - 4 devs make such a simple product! but just imagine - 3 weeks ago, these guys didn't know how to make a simple button. i'm extremely lucky with my team - they got their experience, and i got my first product!
conclusion
i work hard and put my whole soul into ClipWing, but i still wouldn't have been able to achieve all this without my wonderful team, and your endless support here. thank you! ❤️🔥

I've completed second task for ClipWing🎉 It was challenging, @cr1of0xx and I tried several implementations to make user experience better. We stopped at the first one at the end 🙈
And I'm glad I'm done it so I won't think about this task during the weekend 😅
