Hi HN, I watch A LOT of educational YouTube videos but wasn't forgetting a good chunk of the details because I was only really passively watching. So I made a tool that generates quiz questions/flashcards from YouTube videos, and uses spaced repetition like Anki or Duolingo to keep it in memory. Let me know if you find it cool/useful (or terrible ) or if you want to know a bit about the details!

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!

Video Forms▲196Hi HN I built Video Forms: a tool that lets you attach questions to specific timestamps in a video, optionally with branching/skip logic.

Surveys lose context; comments are unstructured. How it works (high level): - You create a “video form” by placing questions at timestamps (e.g., 0:18, 0:42) - The video can pause to ask the question, then continue - Answers can branch to different follow-up…
