    I built Watchlist to solve a problem that's been nagging at me (and I suspect many others): YouTube's addictive nature and its impact on productivity. The Problem: YouTube is an incredible source of knowledge, but its homepage is an unending scroll of rabbit holes. The algorithm is designed to maximize watch time, often at the expense of our intentions and productivity. I found myself wasting hours, jumping from video to video, and then blaming myself for the lack of self-control. The Solution: Watchlist! Watchlist is essentially YouTube playlists on steroids. Here's how it works: 1. Create…

    NoSuggest is a quiet act of resistance against YouTube algorithms always trying to pull you into a loop of unlimited videos in turn into unlimited screen time. With unending side cards of videos, auto-play, what's next suggestions, YouTube shorts and notifications, users will be doom scrolling for many hours in a day. I faced the same problem. Acknowledging that, not all content in YouTube is bad. There are educational videos, genuine news contents without political bias which is very hard to find outside YouTube and many other good relaxing, entertainment stuff. NoSuggest lets you only…

    Briefly, what the app does: 1. Points to a reverse playlist(an actual youtube playlist) for a channel. 2. Ability to skip to a position in playlist from beginning. 3. Request any new channel you would like to have a reverse playlist for ! Usage eg: - Using the above you can skip to say 100th video from begining in a channel (e.g CaseeyNeistat Vlog) and keep watching on youtube app (without going back to bingethetube.com). - Come back next day and resume watching from say video 120 without a lot of scrolling Useful if you like to follow a creators youtube journey or old Vlogs !

    Hi HN! I built SkipCut it’s like an ad-free, distraction-free YouTube with useful extras: background play, SponsorBlock, dark mode, playlist support, local history, download/share buttons… and it works on any device. No install. No login. Here’s the best part: It works just by replacing "youtube" with "skipcut" in the video link. You skip all the boring stuff — ads, sponsors, intros, silence, filler and just watch what matters. Why it’s different: No comments. No suggested videos. No clickbait. I made this for my kid, I create a playlist and just send a SkipCut link like:…

    Hey HN community, excited to share a project that I've worked on. On EduTube you can discover 1000+ hand-selected educational YouTube videos. YouTube has a lot of really great educational content but it's hard to find the really good ones. Personally, I find that the recommendations page often falls short, and I've lost count of how many times I've struggled to select a video to watch while eating, only to end up with cold food. There are a couple of categories that are free and if someone wants to have access to everything there is a 20$ one time payment. I always appreciate feedback if…

    Live demo here: http://fonctionlabs.com:8000 Similarly to aka_sh (guess we were working parallelly on similar topics), I created with my brother a chainlit-based webapp, which summarizes Youtube videos in order to gain time. It works as an RAG-based LLM, and is very light in the sense that it does not use RAG libraries like langchain or llamaindex. You can use it with your own OpenAI API key. It also supports local models like Mistral, or Llamma. It is ofc open-source, and you can deploy with Docker if you choose. Some of the next steps are: - using whisper to be able to compute a…
