Vibecode 1of10
track this build5 steps, step by step0%The core math is embarrassingly simple: pull a channel's uploads, compute a median or trailing baseline, divide each video's views by it, sort descending. The YouTube Data API hands you everything you need for that, and an agent can wire up a local outlier dashboard for a list of channels you care about in one sitting. Where it breaks down is scale: 1of10's real product is a pre-indexed corpus of millions of videos you can search across niches you have never heard of, with history that predates your interest. Your build can only see channels you thought to track, and the free API quota caps how many you can refresh per day. Good enough for watching 50 competitors, useless for open-ended idea mining.
You are building a lean indie version of 1of10. Create the following project files first, then implement the application by following them. Keep the files updated as decisions change. Do not collapse this into a single README or prompt. ===== README.md ===== # 1of10 indie build ## Goal Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core 1of10 workflow for one developer or a tiny team. ## Scope Tracks a list of YouTube channels, computes each video's view multiple against its channel baseline, and shows a sortable outlier feed with thumbnails and titles. ## Quick start 1. Install the documented dependencies. 2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`. 3. Run the development command chosen during implementation. 4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`. ## Honest limits This build deliberately does not replace: - Cross-channel discovery: you can only find outliers in channels you already listed - Historical depth, their index has view curves from before you started collecting - Quota headroom, refreshing thousands of channels daily needs paid access or many keys - Curated niche collections, thumbnail galleries and saved-idea workflows - Shorts vs long-form normalization and view-velocity nuance that took them iterations to get right If those capabilities are essential, use 1of10 instead of pretending the gap is solved. ===== AGENTS.md ===== # Agent instructions - Optimize for a working, understandable weekend build. - Prefer the fewest moving parts that satisfy the brief. - Do not invent cryptography, security guarantees, APIs, or compliance claims. - Keep secrets out of source control and logs. - Add focused tests for destructive, security-sensitive, and data-loss paths. - Run the project checks before declaring the build complete. - Record any deliberate shortcut in the README under "Tradeoffs". ===== BUILD_PLAN.md ===== # Build plan ## Original build brief Build a local YouTube outlier tracker: a self-hosted dashboard that flags videos massively outperforming their own channel's baseline.

Out of scope: user accounts, auth, hosted deployment, telemetry, payments, cross-channel keyword search, thumbnail downloads, AI title suggestions.

Because the point of outlier research is finding formats in corners of YouTube you would never think to monitor, and that requires a crawler that has been running for years on someone else's quota budget. A personal tracker answers "what is working for my competitors" nicely. It cannot answer "what format is quietly exploding in a niche adjacent to mine", which is the question people actually pay for.
xCross-channel discovery: you can only find outliers in channels you already listed
xHistorical depth, their index has view curves from before you started collecting
xQuota headroom, refreshing thousands of channels daily needs paid access or many keys
xCurated niche collections, thumbnail galleries and saved-idea workflows
xShorts vs long-form normalization and view-velocity nuance that took them iterations to get right
Nothing worth pointing at. That's why the prompt exists.
Vibecode 1of10
Kinda. The core of 1of10 is buildable in a weekend with the prompt on this page, but there are real gaps: Cross-channel discovery: you can only find outliers in channels you already listed, Historical depth, their index has view curves from before you started collecting. Read the honest list above before committing.
How much does 1of10 cost?
1of10 costs about $29/month (Basic, checked 2026-08-18), which is $348 per year.
What do I lose by replacing 1of10?
Honestly: Cross-channel discovery: you can only find outliers in channels you already listed; Historical depth, their index has view curves from before you started collecting; Quota headroom, refreshing thousands of channels daily needs paid access or many keys; Curated niche collections, thumbnail galleries and saved-idea workflows; Shorts vs long-form normalization and view-velocity nuance that took them iterations to get right. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.
Is there an open-source alternative to 1of10?
No mature open-source alternative worth pointing at, which is exactly why the one-shot prompt on this page exists.
