This is just the straightforward idea of waiting for some element to appear on the website. But once the element is found, this thing stops. It won't stop for YouTube if you are on Facebook though but it's just a first implementation and it could actually be very easy to recognize the site. Thanks for the helpful suggestion!
The advantage that speaks to me, is that I control everything. I'm not sharing my data with the developer of the extension so it's one person less that I have to trust. I can also very easily adjust it to my needs, but I can program, so it's not valid case for everyone.
The current version just grabs the whole feed and removes it from the website. If you can program, it won't be hard for you to extend it so you can remove only the content you want.
The main problem that I have with extensions is:
"It can:
Read and change all your data on all websites"
Having my own, local extension I don't have to actually think whether I added some sensitive stuff to be exempt from permissions or not.
The whole point is to actually have installed locally so you don't share any data with the developer of the extension. The problem with extensions is that in many cases the access that you give them is way too broad. If you install it by yourself, you control everything. The only thing that I thought about is maybe some kind of configurator that would allow you to pick some already existing rules that the users would share through github.
Really nice! I'm also currently playing around a lot with automatically generated videos and I can see this having a lot of potential! Some questions that come to my mind:
1. Do you plan including AWS Polly in the speech generation? There is also a free tier, the API is nice so it might be also a good choice for people using AWS SDK already in their projects.
2. How do you approach aligning the words with animations? Is it possible to align it for a specific word? I was wondering how one might approach this. Did you already describe it somewhere?
