How I Built EduLaunch with AI Tools, and Tailwind — From Idea to Launch

The Problem

As a developer, I’ve always wanted to create digital products that are useful and easy to launch. But we all know how overwhelming it can be:

So many ideas, not sure which one to build
Designing from scratch? Not my strength
Writing the perfect landing page copy? 😩
Shipping quickly without cutting corners? Tricky

So I decided to approach this differently.

The Approach
Instead of diving straight into code, I let AI and tools do the heavy lifting in the early phase. Here’s how:

Step 1 – Idea Validation & Market Fit (ChatGPT + Reddit + Twitter)
I asked AI to help me brainstorm problems within the creator economy — especially around online course creation.

Then I did some digging on Twitter, Reddit, and Indie Hackers to validate if people were actually struggling with:

“How do I launch an online course quickly, without dealing with custom design, CMS setup, or hosting stress?”

Turns out — lots of people are.

Step 2 – Prototyping with v0.dev
v0.dev was a game-changer.

I described the idea to it in natural language:

"I need a clean landing page for a course creator with testimonials, pricing, and email capture."

It gave me a clean Tailwind layout. From there, I kept refining with both AI + my own touch.

I still had to tweak layout, colors, and content — but I got a solid 60% done within minutes.

Step 3 – Finishing Touches with Tailwind CSS
I brought everything into my dev environment and styled it manually with Tailwind CSS.
I added animation, polished responsiveness, and made it mine.

Step 4– Packaging & Launch
Once the template was done:

I created multiple versions for different needs (creators, bootstrappers, tutors)
Uploaded it to Gumroad
Shared it on Twitter, LinkedIn, Indie Hackers, Medium, etc.
Results So Far

Not viral yet — but it’s early. The point is: done is better than perfect.
