    Unfortunately all the other languages have too few results, I just checked and Greek only has 0.7% as many channels as English in the db, so it'd only be a few pages of content

    I did think about it, but my concern was that because I only take a small subset of top keywords for each channel, it's very easy to create a combination of tags that'll show no re…

    Try digging deeper into the "Related Keywords" cloud at the top, the narrower is the keyword you pick, the more long-form & technical and the less pop-channell-y stuff you'll see.

    I'll add a report button, it definitely needs it. All of that data is from the the youtube channels themselves and _a lot_ of them mislabel things, even such basic ones as their ch…

    Thanks! Search box has been requested multiple times, so will implement, and reverse search is already possible here: https://limnology.co/en/channels

    Build an app for finding lost pets with facial recognition. Recognizing cats is the easiest thing for neural nets, yet I haven't seen it used for lost pets yet. Basic idea, if my p…
