I Built an Open Source Tool to Automate Instagram Reels — Looking for Contributors

🚀 Why I Started This Project

Creating short-form content (especially Instagram Reels) is still surprisingly manual.

Even with AI tools available, the workflow usually looks like this:

Generate content ideas
Write scripts manually
Edit videos using multiple tools
Stitch everything together
Export and upload

It’s fragmented, time-consuming, and error-prone.

I wanted to simplify this.

💡 What I’m Building: Reel Quick

I started building Reel Quick, an open-source project aimed at automating parts of the Reels creation workflow.

👉 Repo: https://github.com/ronin1770/reel-quick

The goal is simple:

Build a system that helps developers and creators generate and process short-form video content programmatically.

⚙️ What It Does (Current Direction)

The project focuses on:

Automating video generation workflows
Integrating AI for content generation
Simplifying pipelines for short-form media
Making the system extensible for developers

This is not just a tool — it’s meant to be a foundation that others can build on.

🧱 Tech Direction

Current and planned areas include:

Python backend
Video processing (FFmpeg / pipelines)
API-based architecture
AI/LLM integrations for content generation
Automation workflows
🧪 Why Open Source?

Because this problem is bigger than a single implementation.

There are many directions this can go:

AI-generated reels
Automated editing pipelines
Content scheduling systems
Creator tools

Open source allows experimentation and faster iteration.

👥 Looking for Contributors

I’m looking for developers interested in:

Python / backend systems
AI / LLM integrations
Video processing
API design
