YHK - yet another hacker news clone

Every time I created new products my focus always went first (wrongly) to building instead to distributing and helping others to use what I created.

After building my thing and having all the excitement of seeing the new toy working, the promotional and communication part always felt more like an obligation, and most of the times was neglected. I always struggled to create manuals, videos, support content, etc.

So I open sourced a skill for Claude Code that helps in that last part. With some instructions and this skill, you can create product demo videos. With professional voice overs, and subtitles in different languages. Combining the browser and the terminal. Everything controlled from your AI. For example, the clip in this post was made with it.

It's not going to do distribution for you, but it's a start ;)

Hey, I was your second visualization for the "DevRel Video Studio demo (+Claude CLI)" video :)

I started doing this for my product's instagram account (not using this skill). https://www.instagram.com/trysojourn/

This is the sort of skill which is worth building specifically for your corporate style and under your sales team's guidance.

I have one[1] for my demos, which uses computer use + ffmpeg used the way I like it to be.

Whenever my team goes out to a conference or other sales event, they carry with them a "booth" package [2] made out of the demos. The companies and use-cases are pulled the weekend before.

Thanks for sharing, but did you even watch your example output[0]? The voiceover is cut off, the drums are out of sync with the rest of the music (rushing).

I'm not using this specifically (I'm targeting native apps, not web apps, so Playwright is irrelevant to my stack), but I'm building out (as part of a pre-existing and unrelated project) something very similar (for that project) - having Claude write the script that steps through product usage and captures a recording of it.

Having product videos on your marketing site that are missing everything new that you built in the last six months because, what, you can't be bothered to manually record them for every release, you wouldn't over-engineer things by writing a script for it because you have more important things to build... seems like a very 2025, pre-AI opinion.

Very interesting, thanks. I just started using claude code to drive filmcraft-cli for producing product videos, using elevenlabs for voiceover. The only part Ive been doing myself is the actual screen recording on mobile, but maybe cc can do that part too somehow. One of my recent edits https://www.instagram.com/p/DfJrVhwMSLP/

Oh, that kind of product. I was thinking e-commerce product videos.
