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…

This Chrome extension tracks when YouTube creators change video titles and thumbnails by crowdsourcing data from users who install it.

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.

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…
