13 hours, full backend + UI done on day 2 - here's what I actually built
Started Klyve two days ago. Today was one of those rare days where everything just clicked.
What got done:
- Neon PostgreSQL schema live (6 tables)
- AWS S3 upload service with presigned URLs
- Clerk auth on backend + frontend
- Full Express API with rate limiting middleware
- React frontend with workspace UI
- Usage tracking for rate limits per plan
First time using Neon, Clerk, and AWS S3. All three in one day. The part that surprised me most — S3 presigned URLs. Once I understood the pattern it took maybe 90 minutes. I'd been avoiding AWS for months thinking it was more complex than it is.
Tomorrow: Claude API integration + the actual AI agent pipeline. That's where it gets interesting.
Building Klyve — AI agent that turns brand context into rendered motion graphics videos using Remotion. No code or terminal required from the user.
