Hey IH. Week 2 of building in public.
The numbers:
Kontentpak commits this week: 72
SeenWant commits: 3 (maintenance)
Revenue: $0
External users: 0
What happened this week on Kontentpak:
Payments work. Integrated YooKassa (basically the only payment processor available if you're building from Russia). Tested on test card, everything goes through. Ready for production.
Landing page rebuilt. New showcase section, how-it-works flow, pricing tiers, FAQ. Went from a placeholder to something that actually explains what the product does.
Image generation module. The pipeline now covers the full loop: idea, then scripts and posts for each platform, then cover images. A complete content package from a single topic.
YouTube demo. Recorded a walkthrough and published it. Shared on Telegram too.
Infrastructure: Sentry for error tracking, Yandex.Metrika for analytics, rate limiting, cookie consent, email notifications for subscription events.
What surprised me this week:
I spent more time on AI prompts than on actual code. Each module generates content for a specific platform, but the prompts need to reference what other modules already generated. That's the whole point: content that connects across platforms instead of repeating.
Writing those prompts felt less like engineering and more like briefing a junior copywriter who sometimes ignores half of what you tell them. You learn to be very specific. And very patient.
What's next:
Getting someone besides me to use the product. That's the part I've been avoiding because it's the scariest one.
For those past this stage: what was the first thing that actually brought you users?
