ReadTube
I built ReadTube so that I can read my YouTube subscriptions. YouTube has lots of high quality content. However, videos can be difficult to consume efficiently, especially those that are long and about series topics (e.g. general relativity, quantum physics). So I created this app to solve this need. There are already many existing YouTube AI transcription websites. However, ReadTube is one step further in that it periodically fetches the updates from the channels I subscribe to so I don't need to paste in the video URL each time. Also it can generate two different versions of summary: one…
ReadTube launched on May 12, 2026 with 5 votes, #2,008 of 20,538 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.
What it does
Turn YouTube subscriptions into a personal newsletter. Every channel becomes a triaged inbox of readable videos. Two summaries plus a full article for every video. Translate into your own language, search semantically, add notes, and create a personal library. Built for depth, not distraction.

Would you prefer reading podcasts, TED talks, or conversations instead of watching/listening to videos? If so, you might find this interesting. PaperTube lets you turn any YouTube video into an easy-to-read, well-formatted article with speaker names, and you can even get it on your Kindle. I've been working on this small project over the last week. Right now, it supports sending any video to Kindle. I'd love to hear if anyone is interested in this. Looking forward to your feedback and discussion! It's currently free because I have some free credits for the LLMs I'm using. I need to find…

Parallel agents, diff reviewer, and multi-model comparisons

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
