Hey HN, I've been working on this side project for the past month. It generates a step-by-step tutorial guide for YouTube videos that you can follow along without watching long videos. Best suited for tutorial videos but can work for other videos aswell. No BS. Just straight to the point. The guides are generated from pure transcript so you don't have to worry about it being AI. It's my first project as a total beginner. Something I had to do inorder to get out of tutorial hell. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or if you face any problems or bugs. I would try to fix them to the…

hi, this is a project I've been working on and off for the last three months, it's my first non-trivial, non-hello-world, actually useful (at least to me) go project. it would be very nice if you could just try the program and see if it works on your setup! the readme[0] explains how it works, why I wrote it and how it fits in my "command-line centric" computing environment (there is also a video demo[1] :)). if you know go, feel free to take a look at the code and review it! I'm still pretty much new to go and I'd love to hear opinions, feedback and tips from more seasoned go developers :)…

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. It's a Chrome extension, and I'm offering 5 free tries for videos under an hour. After that, you have to buy a package.…

I found the manual process of downloading various YouTube assets painful so built a simple app to help myself and hopefully others. The app wraps up popular Python libraries (`yt-dlp, scrapetube, youtube-transcript-api`) and makes their functionality easier to use. Python and Docker versions are available.

Hey HN, Recently, a friend introduced me to the Bluesky platform, and I found it intriguing—especially its focus on decentralization. I believe it has the potential to become the next Twitter, and it already has over 13 million users. Today, as I was browsing the platform, I came across a video in one of the posts that I found really interesting and wanted to download to my local drive. However, after searching for a while, I couldn’t find a suitable tool for this purpose. So, I thought, why not create a tool to meet this need? All it should require is the link to a post, and it would allow…
