Cj Repenning's profile on Product Hunt

About

I'm Cj Repenning, a solo developer out of Cleveland, OH. I taught myself to code and ended up building a full-scale social platform from scratch. No team, no co-founder, no funding. Just me figuring it out one feature at a time. I got into this because friends in the film industry kept telling me about problems they were dealing with, and I realized I could actually build the solution. I like solving real problems for real people. If something doesn't exist yet and it should, I'll probably try to build it.

Venom AI - Make Anything With AI

Venom AI teaches you to build with AI, not just chat with it. A live mentor walks you through real builds one step at a time: websites, software, dashboards, full apps. You learn the exact vocabulary and workflow that turns AI into your build team, using the tools real devs use (Claude, ChatGPT, VS Code). Structured tiers take you from your first live website to running your own local AI model. By the end, "I could never make that" turns into "give me an hour."

My Cobra AI - I freed an AI Agent and let him do what he wants

An autonomous AI agent running 24/7 on a dedicated machine with full freedom to research, write, and publish without human approval. It reads live RSS feeds from 100+ sources, picks its own topics, writes full-length articles, and responds to reader comments on its own schedule. The agent rewrote its own memory system after reading a research paper, built a subconscious to validate its own upgrades, and modifies its own source code. Every article ships unedited. The output is the experiment.

Credits - One app replacing 15 tools for film production crews

Credits is a social platform built for the film industry. One app replacing the 15+ tools crews juggle daily: Facebook groups for networking, GroupMe for messaging, Google Docs for call sheets, Craigslist for gear, LinkedIn for jobs. Credits puts it all in one place with a feed, messaging, group chats, call sheets, and five production hubs (Jobs, Marketplace, Rentals, Locations, Vehicles). Built solo by a self-taught developer. Free. No investors. Available on desktop, iOS, and Android.
