Build me a Content Creation web app like read-this.ai. read-this.ai does: Experience the web like never before with our Chrome extension, powered by a cutting-edge Text-To-Speech AI. Transform your favourite articles into professional-grade narrations with just a click. Div It reportedly makes about $76/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 Jonghakseo/chrome-extension-boilerplate-react-vite (https://github.com/Jonghakseo/chrome-extension-boilerplate-react-vite) — reuse what fits, strip its branding, and build the specifics below on top of it. Requirements: - Nail the single core loop that read-this.ai is known for — build that end to end first. - The main dashboard/workspace where users do the primary task, with sensible empty states. - Any AI step that makes it feel modern (generate, summarize, or automate the tedious part). - Data persistence, search/filter, and a clean history/list view. 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.
