Show HN: I built a YouTube for generative videos in 50 prompts

A developer built a generative media catalog with social features, search, and recommendations using 50 prompts across 5 sessions with Codex GPT-5.6. The open-source project, available on GitHub, creates a YouTube-like platform for generative videos.

So I decided yesterday to do a full rewrite of the media gallery, turning it into a generative media catalog with full-suite social interactions, search, and personalized recommendations built on top of the samsar-js library. It took around 50 prompts in 5 sessions to get this done across the client and API, built with Codex GPT-5.6 Sol, Luna, and then Sol again (rate limit reset, thx Mr. Sama). I did not use screenshots for the UI, It was entirely hand-prompted end-to-end. The project is fully open-source under the MIT license. GitHub here:
