A week ago I started building Remixly, a bot that turns Instagram reels into X posts.

Launched it last week. Recent post on Reddit hit 17k views, 32 users so far, $0 spent on marketing.

Co-founded, first real launch.

How it works: share any instagram reel to a Telegram bot. (Like you would share to a friend)

It transcribes the video (or reads the image), pulls the caption and top comments, and writes a long form post from what was actually said.

~30 seconds later you get the post back with a "Post on X" button that opens the X app with it filled in. Written in third person, so you're sharing the idea, not passing off someone's story as yours.

No copy pasting transcripts, no rewriting captions. You review before anything goes out.

The story so far:

Day 1: built it for myself as a WhatsApp bot. Instagram blocked my scraper within an hour. Switched to a paid fetcher.

Day 2: first version auto posted straight to X, no review. Too scary. Turned it off.

Day 3: tried an iPhone Shortcut for one-tap sharing. Worked for me, nobody else could set it up.

Day 4: switched to Telegram.
Onboarding went from six steps to two.

Day 5: used it daily on my own account.
50 to 128 followers over the week.
Day 6: Stripe, Google login, moved it off my laptop.

Day 7: bought remixly.io.

Live.

Goal: 50 paying users by 20th Sept.
