Review of my Open AI build week feedback please

A developer built Zodku, a grant-planning app, overnight using OpenAI's Codex on a MacBook Air 2020, demonstrating that solo developers can create functional apps without a team. The developer cited making a video as the main challenge and plans to launch Zodku and other apps to users next.

Inspiration

Making a million dollar app is impossible today without a team. Really? I made this with codex overnight. It worked for me while I slept and I spent a day working on other stuff and no coding at all.

What it does

Zodku makes grants easy to plan!

How we built it

I used Codex and my macbook air 2020.

Challenges we ran into

Mostly was making the video!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I finally made a app myself and used github which I have tried a few times and finally I did it.

What we learned

I need to practice making videos.

What's next for Zodku

Zodku will be making some other apps and next will be taking an app Live to users.
