trying to get AI-powered YouTube playlist generator to work well with podcasts: https://playlists.at/youtube/generate/ (GPT doesn't seem to be very good with podcasts.)
nevernothing··on Show HN: I made a YouTube search form with advanced filters
Yes, there was a filter for the last hour, I think they got rid of it this year.
nevernothing··on Show HN: I made a YouTube search form with advanced filters
The search form does not use the YouTube Data API. It's essentially a link generator. Unfortunately YouTube doesn't offer filters for point 1–4.

Thanks for the tip, the Shorts filter is now on by default.

You're basically right, it's just a UI for the old search filters, at least for the ones that still work today.
nevernothing··on Ask HN: How do you search things like YouTube and Reddit from before the AI slop
You can try "before:YYYY-MM-DD" in the YouTube search bar. Unfortunately, the YouTube search now ignores some of the old filters. I created a simple form with advanced search filters: https://playlists.at/youtube/search/

ChatGPT is pretty good with this, you can try it yourself. I created a playlist generator for YouTube a while ago. It is powered by GPT-3.5 Turbo and can create playlists based on text descriptions: https://playlists.at/youtube/generate/

Me too. The software was so good that 25 years later there are still animators using the Macromedia version of Flash. If anyone wants to play around with tweening online: https://bestsnip.com/animation

You can try to avoid irrelevant search results by using advanced search filters like "intitle:" or "-" to exclude specific words.

nevernothing··on Google: Advanced Image Search
It's also good to know that most advanced Google filters also work on other Google products like the Play Store or YouTube.
nevernothing··on Show HN: Advanced Search for YouTube
Most people don't know that they can use Google Advanced Search search filters on YouTube, so I built it. It's useful if you know the exact upload date for example. It's not really technically challenging, just a simple HTML form.
