stratenjineon TLDW – Search inside of videos from YC, VCs and established founders

Hi. I did something similar back in 2016 - scripting/abusing the youtube api to skip inside the video.

https://tldws-16b54.web.app/#/discover A little side project that went nowhere.

Website's up, but I'm not sure api calls work anymore.

Anyway, I'm all for TLDWing videos. You are welcome to message me if you think I can contribute eyalfein@gmail.com

stratenjineon Ask HN: Is there a justification for a Facebook browser extension?

Actually, I've built a side project/POC, to check if the concept works, 6 months ago.

Recently I picked it up and continued. Selectors still valid.

Just sayin :)

They do obfuscate, but they still have to follow basic markup rules and can't beat css selectors. Keeping up with Facebook changes does not even require releasing new versions, as updated regex(-ish) selectors can be downloaded. I think it's a (theoretically) losing battle to rely on such obfuscation.

Sorry, went a bit out of context when trying not to be specific. It's not a messaging service but an additional visual layer to 'communicate' with.

* updated the ask to clarify that.

TL;DW chrome extension for YouTube. Any video on youtube can be TL;DW'd and anyone who opens it and has the extension installed can run the TL;DW'd version. The extension allows users to remain on YouTube (i.e. not 'stealing' traffic). The website allows to create TL;DW's (not editing the actual video). Requires Google credentials. Side project, just one guy (me).

This month I'm going to add a bit of social discovery (i.e. share buttons, etc) and then finally refactor, restructure and take it seriously, because it's just an idea I had a month ago but now I really want it to become something.

I need content. Please create TL;DW's for lectures, tutorials, etc, and skip the smalltalk, boring parts, bad jokes and off-topic. And then share (manually, until I add the social stuff). Thanks!
