ReadTube▲5I built ReadTube so that I can read my YouTube subscriptions. YouTube has lots of high quality content. However, videos can be difficult to consume efficiently, especially those that are long and about series topics (e.g. general relativity, quantum physics). So I created this app to solve this need. There are already many existing YouTube AI transcription websites. However, ReadTube is one step further in that it periodically fetches the updates from the channels I subscribe to so I don't need to paste in the video URL each time. Also it can generate two different versions of summary: one…

Hey HN, ExpoReader is a viewer for YouTube videos that shows the transcript of the video, and generates a shareable URL for a completely readable version of a video. I built it because I wanted helpful tutorials without having to watch an entire video. In a later version, I was thinking it could be cool to show other screenshots from the video throughout the transcript, but there’s really no easy way to do that outside of downloading the video and taking clips from there. If anyone has any good suggestions, I’m all ears!

Hi HN! I made this because I always forget what I'm trying to learn from YouTube. Test yourself: Can you remember the main concepts from the last (educational) video you watched? So, why not highlight and take notes on YouTube videos, just like in books? That's TubePen. Sign in, replace "youtube" with "tubepen" in your YouTube URL, and you're ready to retain more from your videos. I’d love your feedback! What do you think of my landing page? Use the 10-day free trial and see if it’s useful for you. Thanks!
