Hi HN! Since Youtube no longer allows AdBlockers, I built my own extension to get around their video ads. If there is an ad it temporarily manipulates the video; Mutes the volume, sets speed to 10x, and skips it if there is a button.

Adblock for Podcasts2024 · github.com · ▲89This is a small app that achieves surprisingly good podcast adblocking. It transcribes the podcast, identifies ad segments in the transcript, then creates a new version of the podcast without the ads.
HypercastNov 2025 · hypercastapp.com · ▲10Hello HN, Extremely nervous and proud to show auto ad skipping for embedded ads. I was tired to pressing +30 +30 +30 -10 to skip ads. So I wrote a pipeline, and co-wrote app with my best friend Alex to make this happen. Feedback, suggestions, all welcome. If you can't afford, please reach out and happy to give free lifetime subscription.

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
