YouTube Coach

Weekly workflow app that maps each day to a YouTube production phase with auto-save tasks and contextual help.

Overview

A Next.js app with a visual week tracker, auto-saving fields, contextual help, week navigation, and authenticated progress across devices.

Problem

YouTube creators reinvent the wheel every video. The production steps are known, but the execution framework usually lives in someone's head.

Solution

A seven-day cadence assigns one production phase to each day, with completion guardrails and contextual help.

Lessons learned

  • Start with workflow and add AI later.
  • Auto-save needs debounce plus optimistic UI.
  • URL state makes tools feel native.
  • A daily-phase pattern transfers to many creative workflows.
