Feels like everywhere you look right now, there s a new AI tool promising you can build a company solo.
No team. No budget. Just you, a laptop, and some clever prompts.

And sure building something solo has never been easier.
But building something that lasts? Feels like a different game.

You can ship faster. You can look bigger than you are.
But can you really wear all the hats founder, marketer, builder, support forever?

• If you're building solo right now, what s been harder than you expected?

• If you scaled a team, when did you know it was time?

Hey Product Hunt! I'm the co-founder of Flowjin, and here's our story

We built Flowjin because we were tired of seeing great content get buried in hour-long recordings. We started with a simple MVP in 2022, and now we're at 800+ paying users!

Our mission? Transform long-form content into short, high-performing clips that actually get watched.

I just started solo dev last year and have been trying to keep all early prototype projects low budget. I personally build in a serverless way on @AWS and pay only for what I use (<$1 per month). I'm curious what do you all use for low-budget development? Maybe I can find even cheaper build stack from you guys lol :)
