ytcast – cast YouTube videos to your smart TV from command-line
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 :)…

In plain words
ytcast is a command-line tool written in Go that casts YouTube videos to smart TVs. Designed for users who prefer terminal-based workflows, it allows video streaming to be initiated directly from the command line rather than through graphical interfaces. The tool was created as the developer's first substantial Go project and is intended for command-line-centric computing environments.

I made a website that converts YT videos into step-by-step guides2024 · stepify.tech · ▲271Hey 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…

Hey HN, my name is Ben, and I am an indie dev from Nigeria and I made YT2Medium – a simple tool that transforms YouTube video transcripts into readable Medium-style articles using AI. It’s for creators, bloggers, or anyone who wants to repurpose video content quickly without writing from scratch. Just launched it and figured I'd share here. Also open to selling it if someone wants to take it further. Would love your thoughts! — Ben

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
