Hi, I'm Cameron.

I'm married with two boys, and like most families we have an embarrassing number of screens in the house — phones, tablets, smart TVs, a Switch, laptops. You name it, we probably own it.

YouTube has been a constant battle. Every time I blocked it on one device, it would reappear somewhere else. The TV. The old iPad. Through a browser I forgot existed. Whack-a-mole, on repeat.

I can't take credit for that framing. I heard Chamath Palihapitiya on a podcast describing how even he — a Silicon Valley investor who helped build these platforms — found YouTube nearly impossible to manage for his own kids. It felt like whack-a-mole, he said. I nearly fell off my chair. If he couldn't figure it out, what hope did I have?

But it also made me realise I wasn't alone, and that the problem was real — not just me being bad at technology. So I decided to actually do something about it.

I've been experimenting with vibe coding lately — using AI to build things I couldn't have built before. I used Claude Code to build WhackaTube from scratch: the quiz, the 60+ device guides, the whole thing. It's been a genuine revelation for how fast you can go from a problem to something useful.

WhackaTube is the resource I wish I'd had two years ago. Answer five questions about your devices and your router, and get a clear, specific plan — no wading through Reddit threads or outdated forum posts.

I hope it saves your family some headaches.
