    YouTubeTldw: ad‑free, login‑free YouTube summaries in a flash▲5

    I made an open source, no BS youtube summary website that makes use of the tldw [1] python library to create really quick youtube summaries. The longer a talk is, the more ad revenue a creator gets. But we don't all have 40 minutes to listen to someone slowly edge around a point. This website has no ads, no login, and is 100% free.You can find the source code here [2]. [1] https://pypi.org/project/tldw/ [2] https://github.com/DavidZirinsky/tldw-site
