Copy Prototipal?
AI video platform to generate images and videos from text via web app or API.
Build me a Developer Tools web app like Prototipal. Prototipal does: AI video platform to generate images and videos from text via web app or API. It reportedly makes about $2k/mo, so the core idea clearly has demand — I want a lean version I can run and charge for. Start from the open-source project mohyware/clip-js (https://github.com/mohyware/clip-js) — reuse what fits, strip its branding, and build the specifics below on top of it. Requirements: - Turn a script or prompt into a short video: scenes, captions, voiceover (TTS), and B-roll. - Timeline editor to tweak scenes; render to MP4. - Templates for common formats (reels, explainers). Also: - Clean, modern, responsive UI with a thoughtful landing page. - Email/password auth and a simple paid tier (Stripe test mode) so it's ready to charge. - A README covering setup, environment variables, and how to deploy. Ship a working MVP I can run locally first, then help me deploy it.
Start from this instead of a blank page
