Hi Indie Hackers! ๐ Iโm JackL, a solo dev who loves the oddly-satisfying world of ASMR.
๐ฏ The problem
Recording those ice-cutting, slime-stretching videos is surprisingly hard:
Messy setup (melting ice, sticky slime).
Studio lights + camera gear arenโt cheap.
One 10-second clip can take an hour to film and clean up.
๐ ๏ธ My solution โ VideoASMR.ai
An end-to-end AI pipeline (powered by Googleโs VEO-3) that spits out a fixed-camera, 8s ASMR clip in about a minute.
Features today:
Trigger templates โ ice, slime, kinetic sand, soap carving.
One-click variations โ change material, color or lighting without editing timelines.
4K seamless export โ MP4/WebM + vertical crop for Shorts/Reels.
โ๏ธ Tech stack
Next.js + Tailwind โ marketing site & dashboard
Supabase โ auth, Postgres, storage
Cloudflare Workers โ job orchestration
Serverless GPU nodes
R2 โ finished video storage
Total build time: ~30 days nights & weekends.
๐ Early traction
110 beta users (friends, TikTok creators, a wellness-app PM).
Avg. render time: 80 s.
First beta TikTok got 41 % watch-through and 3 k views with zero spend.
๐ Roadmap
16-second renders (in test).
More โmaterial presetsโ (glass, honeycomb, confetti).
Simple caption/music overlay tool.
Marketplace for user-shared prompts.
๐ How you can help
Try it โ 30 extra credits auto-added when you sign up this week.
Brutally honest landing-page feedback (does the value click in <5 s?).
Ideas on non-paid growth channels (Google Ads is still learning).
