I built an AI tool to help YouTubers make thumbnails.
The problem? I don't even use it myself.
If I won't use it, why would anyone pay for it?
Next 30 days: I'm rebuilding ThumbAI until I want to use it myself.
Building in public.
4/ After shipping v1, I couldn't stop thinking about v2.
Imagine a tiny desktop pet living in your menubar.
Every evening it waddles over and says:
"hey, you spent 2h in thumbai today, mostly Bash, late-night mode 🌙"
And if you haven't coded in 3 hours:
3/ Completely local-first.
Your code, messages, and file contents never leave your machine.
Only aggregated numbers (tool counts, active minutes, top files)
go to the AI for the narrative.
It's called ccwrapped.
Every night at 23:00, it:
→ scans your local ~/.claude history
→ sends the stats to an AI to write a 2-3 sentence narrative
→ emails you a dark-themed HTML report card
Like Spotify Wrapped, but for your AI coding habits.
