24 alternatives to synchtube.com Synchronize YouTube videos
As I write on the site: "synchtube allows you to instantly create public and private rooms where you can synchronize YouTube music and videos with up to 50 people" I've been working on this on and off with a friend, and we just recently made a big push to make it stable and scalable. I never thought I'd say this, but I think I'm finally happy with it now. The code feels clean internally (whew), and the site presentable. That being said I wanted to show it off! This app was inspired mostly by coincidence. At the time my friend was studying for med school and wanted to watch surgery vids with…

Some time ago I published here about Spotitube, a side project I had been working on to synchronize Spotify collections by fetching blobs from somewhere in the internet (e.g. YouTube). In the past few months it's undergone a huge rewrite which I think has let it become a nicer piece of software. I could definitely use some feedback, if anyone feels like it :)

Hey folks! My weekend project, Summify.io, has officially launched! It's an AI-driven tool that simplifies your life by summarizing YouTube videos in just a single click. Now, you can get the gist of those long vids without breaking a sweat! Built from the ground up as a solo developer, it's been an incredible journey full of late nights, countless coffees, and the spirit of indie hacking The amazing response from our private release has motivated me on to start building even more features. Can't wait for you to check it out and share your thoughts! Try Summify.io now and let's me know what…

Hey all, we're reposting from our previous Show HN about 5 years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28644205 Since then we've grown to more than 5k users across nearly 1k groups and have sent out more than 100k update prompts. The premise is simple - social media stinks and you either don't see updates from people you care about (they never post) or you miss the updates (flooded by other people's updates or an algorithm that downplays an update you'd care about even if it's seemingly unimportant). And we're ramen profitable (more so now that we've migrated the majority…

Hey all, I created http://cueued.com that works as a remote for a collaborative spotify queue where the users can upvote and downvote music they want to hear next. Only the person who is playing the music needs to have spotify premium! And if you're far from your friends (and have premium) and want to listen together, you can go to the settings and click Connect to Room, and you all can listen to the same music remotely. Let me know what y'all think about it, and any improvements as well. And if anyone's interested in how I built it let me know as well.

Do you want to monetize a private group/ channel/ community? Use Subjoin to create a personal membership page in minutes. It's easy to use and free to try out. No need to integrate Stripe if membership is free. - - - - I have never built something this fast, what a thrill! I saw there was no easy way to create a simple subscription page. Big platforms are confusing and expensive for simple needs. - - - - What are you building? Would love to connect with like-minded people on X: @tjmakingof

Hey HN!! Many of us enjoyed the "If YouTube had actual channels" Show HN post last week. As developers of a similar project, we wanted to share our approach to building a simulated live experience. We’ve spent around 18 months working on this and have managed to add some advanced features, including content-based interactivity. We are super excited to be releasing both the live stream and the code behind it. Our idea was to combine the communal watching experience of television with the modern trappings of the interactive web. If you go to the stream, you will be watching along with everyone…

I know mentioning Michael Seibel is almost cheating, but this week he demonstrated the "leaky pipes" concept to me. Not that I know the guy, but in one of his videos he says something on the lines of "If you are unsure if you app is ready to be launched, just launch it. It's like a house with leaky pipes, just open the main, grab your tools, and start fixing wherever water is leaking". So we did it, we launched drummy earlier this week on /r/InternetIsBeautiful and we got very close to 10k users in just one day! Survived the hug of death, learned a ton, and made changes all around.…

Hello, HN. I'm a long-time lurker here and this is my first Show HN (be gentle). I created Glue which is best described as "Twitter meets Tumblr meets Medium" which is longer than just saying another Twitter alternative but IMO not 100% accurate. I launched Glue in mid '21 and have been slowly iterating on it since. Glue lets you share text, photos, video, audio, code snippets, quotes or break out into a long-form blog post. Posts on Glue are called "Drops". Glue in action: - My profile: https://glue.im/noah - Audio:…

Hello HN, I had some christmas free time over the last two weeks (Merry Christmas btw ;-)) and used that time to completely recreate the website of my app[1]. I used all the fancy new tools. I didn't know some of them when I started. What was my goal? * Pretty website * Blazing fast * Mobile first * SSR * Webp support * Generally all the best website practices (high lighthouse score) What did I use? * Tailwindcss (https://tailwindcss.com/) * Tailwind Components (https://tailwindui.com/) * React (https://reactjs.org/) * ViteJs…

Initially, I was interested in using YouTube videos to learn languages using the simple shadowing technique. It sounds fancy, but it's simply listening and repeating. However, I found it pretty inconvenient to use the vanilla YouTube player to replay video parts. Especially when I needed to do it several times. Later I figured out that it's pretty handy to also practice instruments, given how much material is in there. Not just for mimicking songs but also for better following tutorials. So the idea is simple, you can save clips you want to practice to loop as many times as you want and come…

Hey HN I’m an indie founder who built [SyncForge](https://trysyncforge.xyz) — a SaaS platform that helps artists, producers, and composers submit their music to sync opportunities in film, TV, ads, and games. Problem: Most creators don’t have access to the music licensing world. It’s either locked behind big publishers or buried in manual submissions. Solution: SyncForge automates the process — artists can: - Create a free account and upload tracks - Submit to active sync briefs from studios and brands - Manage metadata, rights, and submissions in one place It’s still early, but…
