Show HN: I built a gamified YouTube learning app that hit #1 ProductOfTheWEEK

Hey everyone 656 users and 14 days later… Zeno 2.0 is here. But, how did I do it?

No, I'm not a coder. Yes, I built it anyway.

This isn't my first product,I run a startup studio (ikivibelabs . com).

Here's how I built Zeno and hit #1 Product Of The Week on Product Hunt, in 15 steps:

> Noticed how I waste hours on YouTube podcasts without retaining enough > Realized the pain was knowledge retention, not consumption > Studied every AI YouTube summarizer tool in the space. Most felt... meh. > Studied GoogleNoteLLM. It felt... meh. > Visualized exactly what I wanted. > Studied my ideal solution journey > Engineered the perfect prompt for Lovable website and Base44 app > Designed the first UI in a night Plugged in YouTube API + AI > Locked in and built for 10 days straight (bug fixing included) > Tested obsessively for 2 Cold DM’d 50 people > Launched on Product Hunt with zero marketing > Reached #1 Product of The Week > Spent 10 days fixing bugs and implementing feedback. > Stopped using YouTube. > Now, I only use Zeno ahah. +++++++

What you should do to achieve the same results, in 5 steps:

> Be Vision/driven > Focus on Prompt Mastery > Know about product management > Follow your gut > Fix your own problem +++++++

Ps. next?

Im looking for a cofounder.
