https://selectube.app/ Working on curated YouTube for kids. Trying to make a place where my kids can watch the good stuff without getting sucked into all the mindless junk.

Also it’s been a fun excuse to try out Cursor and other AI tools I don’t normally use in my day job.

I have 1 user - my 8 yr old son.

So, you need to have a youtube subscription to watch through selectube? As a parent, can't I just set more than 1 category and whitelist what goes through?

You can watch without a subscription. But unless you have YouTube premium, they can inject ads into the videos.

I don’t add any ads.
