See when YouTubers change their titles and thumbnails

If you make YouTube content or watch a lot of YouTube, you've probably realized that the success of a video heavily depends on it's packaged. Because if people aren't clicking on your video, they're not watching it. The only problem is that YouTube doesn't show you if changing your title or thumbnail makes a big difference. There's no way to track old titles or thumbnails, or when they changed. So I made this simple chrome extension which allows you to see when you or other YouTube creators change their titles and thumbnails. You can now see how big creators like MrBeast and Airrack A/B…

In plain words

This Chrome extension tracks when YouTube creators change video titles and thumbnails by crowdsourcing data from users who install it. It shows content creators and YouTube viewers the history of title and thumbnail changes for any video, allowing them to observe how major creators test their packaging and see the impact on views. No login is required to use the extension.

In the maker’s words, at launch

If you make YouTube content or watch a lot of YouTube, you've probably realized that the success of a video heavily depends on it's packaged. Because if people aren't clicking on your video, they're not watching it. The only problem is that YouTube doesn't show you if changing your title or thumbnail makes a big difference. There's no way to track old titles or thumbnails, or when they changed. So I made this simple chrome extension which allows you to see when you or other YouTube creators change their titles and thumbnails. You can now see how big creators like MrBeast and Airrack A/B test their packaging, and inspect how it affects views. It works by anonymously crowd-sourcing view, title, and thumbnail data from other users who've installed the chrome extension, whenever they visit a YouTube video. No login needed. I hope you find it insightful!

    This works suprisingly well. Just give it instructions like "make it winter" or "remove the cars" and the photo is altered. Here are some examples of transformations it can make: Golden gate bridge: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brycedrennan/imaginAIry/ma...

    The project is called QueryStorm. It uses Roslyn to offer C# (and VB.NET) support in Excel, as an alternative to VBA. I've posted about it before, but a lot has changed since then so figured I'd share an update. The current version includes a host of new features, namely a C# debugger, support for NuGet packages, and the ability to publish Excel extensions to an "AppStore" (which is essentially a NuGet repository). The AppStore can be used by anyone with the (free) runtime component. Another great addition is the community license, which is a free license for individuals and small companies…

    Hey HN! Some more info: I’m an NHS doctor and the founder of Pi-A (https://www.pi-a.io) which developed Lungy (https://www.lungy.app). Lungy is an app (iOS only for now) that responds to breathing in real-time and was designed to make breathing exercises more engaging and beneficial to do. It hopefully has many aspects of interest to the HN community – real-time fluid, cloth and soft body sims running on the phone’s GPU. My background is as a junior surgical trainee and I started building Lungy in 2020 during the first COVID lockdown in London. During COVID, there were…
