Thank you!

Humm, do you mean replacing www.youtube.com/watch?v=... by www.tubepen.com/watch?v=... ?

All browsers I have been used had an editable url field, this should be easy. On desktop by double-clicking the word youtube it should select it an you can just write there.


Hey, yeah on logged users a box appears to paste the url, editing the url is just a shortcut for nerds like me :D.

I have been tought so much about the login wall, I look to what other solo developers are doing and they use to set a paywal, I left a free trial, but I need some compromise because I have no resources to let people abuse. I now it difficult conversions, but is the best I can do right now. Also even without trial it's a cheap service.

Since the HN launch I added phone support and a "Advanced" LLM plan with auto summarization of videos. I'm working to add a quiz mode tho this plan trying to offer a more complete solution.

Suggestions are welcome!


Back on Highschool some teachers aware us about this particular con of laptops, I always thought that the worst part is that we are very prone to distractions and laptops offer a lot. Now my point of view is that a "cool" UI can give the brain some dopamine and keep you stick to learning more time than you would in a notebook, so this behaviour could counterbalance the handwriting benefits. At least, this is the theory. Nice point!


Haha, thank you! It's pretty difficult to balance demos, free plans and those other ways to show your product. I choosed the 10 days full featured subscription plan, as I'm using Stripe you are not leaving your payment details in another website, and you can cancel anytime. Anyway I will think about a working demo or something.

On mobile isn't possible to make new selections yet, but you can still open a video pasting the url on the box in the home page, that should work with "m." url also.


This is a good idea to steal ;) There are plenty of features that llms can provide to TubePen, if the idea goes on I will work on it. Thank you!


Hey, please tell me how you are reaching the site. Please be aware of selection doesn't work on mobile browsers yet (selection events are different). You can still change color of highlights and add notes by clicking on them. On landing page demo there is no video, just a mock with TubePen logo.


It could be an aditional feature in the future. Thanks for the feedback.


Please write me an email to n0vella@outlook.com to see what happened. I'm going to check the logs, nothing must be charged to you.

Typos are also my fault as english isn't my mother language, Will check that also.


The OP sorted out the subscription/signup/billing issues.

The main reason I signed up was for a nice way to search through YouTube transcripts. YouTube requires many clicks, and the transcript is jammed into a small div.

Another reason I signed up was because I was curious how the YouTube videos were being embedded. It seems like just via the YouTube API?


You can pull YouTube transcripts directly with a tool like this: https://youtubetranscript.com/

This can be done programmatically with YouTube Transcript API [0]

But you may get IP blocked if you do it a lot so you can use a Tor proxy [1].

Afterwards, you can just cmd/ctrl+f through it or throw it at an LLM.

I forwarded the email I already sent to support@tubepen.com.

Another typo is "Acess to the entire platform"


Seems like outlook stop receiving emails from cloudflare redirection:

upstream (outlook-com.olc.protection.outlook.com.) temporary error: Unknown error: transient error (451): 4.7.650 The mail server [104.30.10.49] has been temporarily rate limited due to IP reputation

I don't know how to deal with this so right now you can contact me on n0vella@outlook.com


Stress!

Good luck and congrats on launch.


You are right. I think those images need some css to let the user know that are images.

Thank you very much for the feedback!
