About

I’m an independent maker building tools for YouTube creators and AI-powered creator workflows. In 2025, I ran five faceless YouTube channels with 400M+ total views. That gave me a close look at creator workflows, audience signals, production pain points, and the tools that are still missing. Before becoming an indie maker, I spent 10+ years in product and user operations at companies like Alibaba. I’m currently building AudienceCue, TimedSubs, and JungRoom, with more YouTube-related creator tools on the way.

TimedSubs got Featured on Product Hunt, but the real lesson was distribution

Yesterday I launched TimedSubs on Product Hunt.

It got Featured, which was a nice surprise.

But I also saw the limitation pretty quickly: I m a solo builder without a big audience, newsletter, or community to share it with, so the vote count didn t really keep growing after the first wave.

The website data was still useful though:
