1) find interesting content and note it on there
2) allow people to search for a spot to go to based on the closed captioning. that sounds pretty neat actually now that i think of it
3) if you wanted to get a little risky, you could watch where people scroll to/pause/get started at from the time stamp query and use that to determine popularity at a certain spot in the video
The added benefit of using TubersLab is I don't have to take the YouTube video to new web app, I just get the ability right there.
I decided to go with a website, because it's easier for non-users to discover content: having to install a plugin or app on one's phone is one order of magnitude more effortful, and search engines can crawl this content but not what's trapped inside an extension or phone app.
Also, if I see more people using it, I'd like to extend to Spotify (as they expand into the realm of podcasts), and possibly audio-only with Libsyn and such.
This is something I use for myself to create my own summaries of conference talks and content-rich videos, also so that I can easily jump back to the moment of the video that’s referred in my notes. Here is an example: https://sidenote.me/note/kFedP0DrC6la/how-i-study-languages-...
For now it’s just a little tool I built for myself, and I decided to open it up for others to create and share their notes as well if they find it useful.
Given that I'm not selling anything, I haven’t figure out yet how to grow a user base and even less how to monetize it. If anyone has ideas about that, please share.
Thanks for reading up until now, all feedback is welcome!
