New indie hacker, experimenting with AI and SaaS

I started learning to code about a year ago. I’m not a professional developer, but with the help of AI and persistence I’ve been able to build real projects. I’m also teaching myself the basics of marketing and trying to understand how SaaS really works. This is my first time sharing my progress publicly — mainly to learn, connect, and hopefully get advice from others further along.

    My first SaaS is SesMate.com. It lets you download videos, transcribe them with Whisper, translate text, and generate text-to-speech dubbing. The core works, but I’m still improving it.Next steps:Expand the downloader beyond YouTubeAdd multi-speaker transcription with voice mappingBuild a simple video editor for subtitles and dubbingExplore voice cloning in the long runI’m curious to see how far this can go and what I can learn along the way.
