OTTASIA

Just launched OTTASIA after a few weeks of evenings and weekends.

Context: I'm not technical. Co-founder of two companies (BrandStori.AI and Flywheelr) with 25 years in IT, but I'd never written production code until last year. Claude Code changed that.

What it is: A free streaming discovery site built Asia-first. Search any movie or show, see exactly which platform has it in your country across Netflix, JioHotstar, Shahid, Viu, iQIYI, BluTV and 30+ services in 33 countries. K-drama, Bollywood, Turkish, Tamil/Telugu/Malayalam, Arabic content as first-class browse categories, not buried under "International."

Why: A billion people across Asia open five streaming apps every week to find one show. JustWatch is great for US/Europe but weak across Asia. JioHotstar, Shahid, Viu, BluTV coverage is spotty. The discovery experience the region deserves didn't exist, so I built it.

Stack:

- Next.js 15 + Tailwind

- Supabase (auth + Postgres)

- Netlify (hosting)

- TMDB free API

- Resend (email)

- Claude Code (the pair programmer)

Total monthly infrastructure cost: $0 so far.

Revenue: Amazon Associates on Prime Video clickthroughs. Honest disclosure: every other provider link is clean outbound.
