MAKS MOSTOVYI  — developer creator covering AI tools and building faster

A one-person media company for people who build. I test AI tools, side-project ideas and faster ways to ship, then tell you what's actually worth your time.

Topics: AI coding agents, Claude Code, Cursor, Local LLMs, React, Next.js, Three.js, Indie hacking, Shipping faster, Dubai tech

01 — The story

Engineer first. Creator second.

Most tech channels review tools. I build with them, ship something real, and show you the parts that broke.

  1. Chapter 01 · The engineer

    Ten years of shipping production code.

    React, Next.js and TypeScript, mostly. I've built UI kits from scratch: date pickers, drawers, toasts, the components a whole product quietly depends on. That's where I learned that details are the product.

  2. Chapter 02 · The base

    Dubai, with a front-row seat.

    I live and work in Dubai. I get to watch the regional startup scene up close and see how teams here are actually putting AI to work, not just talking about it.

  3. Chapter 03 · The channel

    One dev, one camera, one rule.

    In 2024 I started MaksDevInsights. The rule: only show what I've built and tested myself. Open-source e-commerce stores, 3D browser games, an AI receptionist that books real appointments, an AI second brain.

  4. Chapter 04 · The builder

    I ship with the tools I talk about.

    Reviewing tools is half the job. The other half is building with them. Right now that's Yieldlens, an AI analytics tool for Dubai real-estate investors, built with the same stack I cover on the channel.

03 — Work with me

Put your tool in a real build.

Brand collaborations for developer tools, AI products and anything people use to build software. Your product shows up inside something I'm actually making, so viewers see it working, not a read-out ad.

Who watches

  • Developers working with JavaScript, TypeScript, React and Next.js
  • Indie hackers and solo founders building their own products
  • Engineers figuring out which AI tools are worth adopting
01

Dedicated video

A full build with your product at the center. I use it for real, on camera, and show the honest result.

02

Integrated segment

A 60–90 second segment inside a long-form video, where your tool is part of the build instead of a read-out ad.

03

Shorts package

Short-form videos across YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels, built around one clear result.

House rules

  • I only promote tools I've tested myself.
  • If it doesn't fit my audience, I'll tell you up front.
  • The video shows the honest result, even when it's mixed.

04 — Contact

Let's build something worth watching.

Brand deals, collaborations, podcast invites, or a tool you think I should try. Tell me what you have in mind.
