Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Nnamdi, a self-taught developer and licensed pharmacist from Lagos, Nigeria. I built Afroclip solo because African video content deserves its own home — not buried in the algorithms of platforms built for other markets.
Afroclip is a bilingual (English/French) video platform for African creators and the people who want to watch Africa as it actually is — raw and uncut.
What's under the hood:
🎬 Mixed portrait + landscape feed with a TikTok-style player pool for instant playback
🌍 Full EN/FR support, built for Anglophone and Francophone Africa
⚡ Premium content with Solana wallet payments — creators get paid without needing a foreign bank account
📱 Mobile-first, works on the connections people actually have
I built and operate the whole thing myself — every feature, every deploy — working AI-first with Claude. From Lagos, one person can now ship what used to take a team.
I'd love your feedback, and if you're an African creator: come claim your space. AMA in the comments!
The portrait and landscape feeds are a nice touch, most platforms force one orientation. Found a creator from Accra whose raw street clips had way more personality than the polished stuff on the usual apps.
Have you considered adding a basic analytics dashboard for creators showing views, watch time, and reaction breakdowns? Right now there is no clear way for someone uploading to know what is resonating, and that kind of feedback loop would really help emerging creators grow on the platform.
The no filters angle is great but consider adding a simple toggle so creators can mark videos with content warnings for sensitive topics, helps users choose what they want to see and keeps the uncut feel while giving people a heads up before something heavy starts playing.
The dual feed setup sounds genuinely useful, especially for creators who film in different orientations. One thing that would help discovery a lot though is adding local language hashtags or trending tags by region, so a viewer in Dakar can actually find what's blowing up in Abidjan without scrolling through everything. That kind of regional surfacing could really push cross-border creator growth.
the fact that you built this solo in lagos honestly blows my mind, especially shipping both portrait and landscape feeds plus the crypto paywall. that kind of execution from one person is genuinely impressive.
