i guess i might aswell do it so i dont need to run a model everytime myself too lol ill have it done in a day or two

would you prefer if the timestamp was hidden since it takes up a bigass portion of the screen or that being an option to hide it in the extension settings?

I think the timestamp is OK, my biggest complaint is the huge amount of whitespace between the rows and the small size of the box. If I designed YouTube I would put the transcript on the left side above the video description, with a button that expands it to full height so there's no separate scrollbar for the transcript anymore, it's just all directly in the page.

BTW when I went to look at a video just now, YouTube actually served me a "Search in Video" box at the top of the transcript. So I guess the feature exists, they just haven't rolled it out to everyone yet.

damn i see this after im 90% done and just have to make a fancy button lol

I built an extension that injected a search bar into the transcript card. Worked by filtering the YouTube transcripts themselves, and manipulating their display attribute.

Didn't release it to the store because YouTube released a search feature and it looked exactly like mine.

If that also saved a copy of the transcript, with meta data added (title, channel, url, smilar vids) - as a text file on my local machine - I would actually use this as well.

Wait, is this using a cloud service in some way or is it all local / total private? That would be a deal breaker or maker.

Oh might as well copy a screen shot of the thumbnail and save it.
