Thank you for putting this together. Free Palestine!

just shipped https://addketchup.app/

It's a chrome extension that let's me extract and summarize YouTube videos without even clicking into it.

There's too much YouTube click baits that require a long watch time. This let's me get the sauce without the watch.

Thank you so much.

The comment sentiment analysis could be great value, I'll experiment with this. Thank you for the idea.

As for your last point, yes, the current workflow does summarize it. Are you saying something like an open ended prompt box where I can say something like "Give me the scoop on what Alex Hormozi's last 10 video"?

The only thing the app uses in this regards is Google OAuth for authentication.

In the permissions page, this counts as "Authentication Information"

I'm never saving passwords, credentials or security questions

OP here.

Why I built this: I often encounter a youtube video that gatekeeps info till the end, but I am unsure if the watch is worth the time spend. So I built this that transcribes then extracts key points from a video so I can make a more informed decision about the watch, and save a summary for future reference.

So fun! the knob controls are a bit unintuitive. great job overall.

kudos!

Hi, I am MC. I am a full stack developer who has built tens of end to end systems. I get whatever problem thrown at me solved. Looking forward to jump into something exciting.

This is on Product Hunt now: https://www.producthunt.com/tech/guy-needs-gift

Please vote if you like it! <3

That's a great idea :) - A clear seperation will definitely make the recommendations better. I will work on this for next update. Thanks!

You are right, there are a lot of repitition. But you will see that what comes up as "Grandson" may come up as "Maybe not a good idea" in the "Best Guess" description.

I basically ranked each item from 0 (don't show) to 10 (Best match) for each relationship. So the more you scroll down, you may start seeing some meh results for that particular relationship.

Because every person is unique I have a hard time completely dismissing something (rank as 0) for a particular relationship.

I have plans to add a lot more products. When the total product count reaches more than 300, I think this problem of seeing duplicate results will reduce by a good margin.

Thanks for the feedback! :)

An amazon gift card, or cash or a good book is a safe bet for any occasion.

Thanks for the feedback!

You are right, now that I think about it, hitting back while you are browsing product should totally bring you back to the homepage, I just never thought of the scenario.

The fact that you mentioned awesome landing page makes me extra happy. I hand drew the pixel arts myself and had a lot of fun doing it :D

Thanks for the feedback. I planned to do an interest filter in the beginning but decided I would get the first batch of feedback without it while keeping UX as simple as possible.

I plan to roll it out eventually.

If this is worth the time investment, I would be happy to make a sister site :)

Thanks for the suggestion. Until now, I just went with my hunch the whole way. Now that it's launched, I can make some iterations based on actually learning from users.

Thanks for the kind words :). I am very happy to see that the care I put into the site is being noticed.

I used MEAN Stack to build this: Express / Node / Mongo / Angular.

I knew Express, Node and Mongo from before, I started this project in order to see what Angular was all about.

While learning a new technology, I always think about what to build while learning.

My wife had said that it's always hard for her to pick gift for guys. So I decided to build this for poeple like her, to make the process a little simpler.

The subscription modal comes up only once (for now) after you succesfuly paginate 3 times, (View about 60 items).

Thanks again!

Thought this may be related. If you think your side projects never got enough traffic to be validated, try this out: http://www.kickoffboost.com

Definitely. Getting feedback on ideas is one of my aim. Kickoffboost will feel much more complete within weeks. This launch was to validate that there is a need for this kind of product, and I think I have the green signal to now make it awesome :)

Hi Everyone,

The response to kickoff boost has been overwhelming and I'm in a bit of a struggle to keep up, but it's a great thing :)

I'm focusing the showcase algo right now so I can't comment or reply to everyone individually until later tonight, but I'll post some updates here.

I launched kickoffboost.com rather prematurely not having any idea that I would get this much traffic. I started coding for kickoff boost the day I read Paul Graham's post "Do things that do not scale" and basically just built a front page with DB hook to showcase products.

Right now, I am manually approving submissions. I'm working to implement a process where after approval, each product will have a "life" (say 300) and "age/clicks" (starting at 0).

When links are clicked, that product's age will be incremented, and the product will get front page space as long as age doesn't exceed life. The life/age bar will be publicly shown for each product. Once age exceeds life limit, the goes to "archived / older posts" and new products get front page view ( thinking about limiting front page to show 20 products at a time ). What do you guys think of this idea? I just want to optimize great new product's chance of discovery and I thought this would be a fair way to distribute the traffic love.

Like I said, I took Paul Graham's advice to heart and created something that really doesn't scale as of this moment. This has been extremely validating however, and now I am in overdrive to get things done. Please feel free to help me out by giving me ideas about how I can improve this.

I am really hopeful that I can turn this into something very helpful people like me who build things and often don't get the recognition they hope or deserve.

Thank's to everyone who pointed out bugs and optimization tips. I am getting to them one at a time. Thanks to everyone who submitted their products. Because of the premature launch, I cannot guarantee that I'll approve and showcase all the products just yet, but I feature all the submissions (as long as they are not troll submissions) in a just and fair way. Thank's to everyone who took the time to write to me and say that they see this as something useful. Thanks to everyone for checking it out. And thanks to PG for that essay "Do things that do not scale". I don;t know how, but the idea came to me within an hour of reading that essay.

Cheers! easymode

That's exactly what I'm working on :D

I'm planning to work all those stats into an algo that would reward better ideas.

Will keep you posted. Thanks!

Hi, I'm trying to manage lots of things right now. Kind of overwhelmed. But I just approved your request.

Would be real cool if you share what kind of traffic you got from there in a day. Thanks!

I just fixed it. Thanks so much for pointing it out!

I shared kickoffboost on hackernews just to see if anybody would be interested in this kind of thing. I'm getting so much traffic now and I was not prepared for it at all.

Thanks so much :D I'm trying to gather how many eyeballs each listing can gather, and I'm trying to optimize getting the traffic to the listings. I'll post the updates in this thread.

Thanks again :)
