Show HN: Non-coder's AI video tool, built in 1 month via vibe coding

Hi HN,

I’m the creator of PopcornAI (https://popcornai.art). I’ve spent my career in operations, but I’ve always wanted to build my own tools. Last month, I decided to dive into "vibe coding" using Cursor, Claude, and Gemini. This product is the result of that 30-day sprint.

The Problem: My wife is a designer and often struggles to find consistent AI assets for her work. I built this to provide a unified workflow for cinematic AI video and images without the complexity of traditional tools.

Key Features:

Character Consistency: Use reference images to guide video generation.

Pro Aesthetics: 100+ curated "Pop Styles" to avoid that "generic AI look."

Speed: High-fidelity 1080P video in seconds.

The Solo-Dev Journey: As a non-coder, I learned that shipping a "good enough" MVP in 2 weeks is far better than chasing perfection for 2 months. I used SaaS templates for the boring stuff (auth/billing) so I could focus on the AI workflows.

I'm giving 100 free credits to everyone who signs up today. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the output quality and any "vibe coding" tips for non-technical founders!
