    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

    Hi, I'm Alex. I created Eightify to take my mind off things during a weekend, but I was surprised that my friends were genuinely interested in it. I kept going, and now it's been nine weeks since I started. I got the idea to summarize videos when my friend sent me a lengthy video again. This happens to me often; the video title is so enticing, and then it turns out to be nothing. I had been working with GPT for 6 months by the time, so everything looked like a nail to me.
