I saw this app youlearn.ai on YC and thought of building it. They are claiming to have 1M+ users with just one feature which is to convert your learning material into summaries, quizzes etc.

I gave this a shot and cloned almost most of the features in just 9+ hours of continous vibe coding (with 20% manual though). Now I'm selling this on mvp marketplace. Might probably open source it in future or give it free.

I very much like this. What you have effectively demonstrated is that startups based purely on LLM prompts have no technical moat. But they are also a lot of successful software companies where their core product is not too difficult to clone. With myspace around, the founding idea for Facebook also wasn’t exactly new.

That means what you have really proven here is that distribution and polishing are the crucial ingredients for a successful startup.
