Show HN: I couldn't scale my YouTube channels, so I built Shortgram
mister_tars Saturday, March 07, 2026Hey HN, I'm a solopreneur, and I've been banging my head against my keyboard for weeks trying to solve a problem that was driving me crazy: I couldn't scale my YouTube channels.
I have multiple channels, and the workflow was a nightmare: - Recording videos took 20% of my time - Editing, optimizing, scheduling... the other 80% - And still, growth was painfully slow
So I did what any obsessed developer would do: I built something to fix it.
Shortgram takes your long-form content and turns it into optimized short-form clips automatically. Think of it as your video editing co-pilot that actually understands what makes content go viral.
The stack: - Supabase (postgresql + edge functions + jobs) - Using Gemini and Claude - Google Cloud Run to compose the videos
This is the tool I wish I had when I started. I've been using it for my own channels and finally decided to ship it publicly.
Would love your feedback. What features would make this a no-brainer for you?
