Hey HN, I've been working on this side project for the past month. It generates a step-by-step tutorial guide for YouTube videos that you can follow along without watching long videos. Best suited for tutorial videos but can work for other videos aswell. No BS. Just straight to the point. The guides are generated from pure transcript so you don't have to worry about it being AI. It's my first project as a total beginner. Something I had to do inorder to get out of tutorial hell. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or if you face any problems or bugs. I would try to fix them to the…

Hi everyone! This project started with me manually doing the following process: Step 1: Get the transcript from youtube by clicking "show transcript" inside the description box Step 2: The transcript usually won't have any punctuation and have lots of mistakes, so paste it into ChatGPT to clean it up or summarize it. The idea here is to make this process as seamless as possible. What I ended up with was a Chrome extension [0] that adds a button in the YouTube UI that does all of this. Automating it allowed me to do a lot of cool things that would be hard to do manually: 1. I use the…

YouTube is the greatest learning resource in the world. Yet it doesn't provide any tools to help you learn from videos. I built a simple app that turns YouTube videos into structured learning material using AI. It generates a summary, quiz and flashcards from video content, meaning you can learn from anything (well, at least any YouTube video). Try it out. Would be happy to keep building features based on feedback!

Hello HN! Between academics and everything else on my plate, I still find myself watching way too many YouTube videos. So I built `youtubegist` - just add `gist` after `youtube` in any video URL to get an instant summary. Before: https://youtube.com/watch?v= After: https://youtubegist.com/watch?v= I know there are other YouTube summarization tools, but they're either cluttered, paywalled, or don't format summaries the way I need them. So I made my own that's free, open source, and dead simple. One cool thing, if you install it as a PWA (on Android using Google…
