wow I built something exactly like this before and was thinking of making into a saas. good work and good luck

I've been thinking about building something like this, but as an extension. Essentially allowing to leave notes on Youtube videos directly.

Would you be able to pull the transcript from YouTube for editing/commenting? That would be really useful for me. In the future it would be great to have these notes sync/push to RoamResearch

Yeah, I have that in my backlog. I still need to take a look and see how hard it is. Thanks for the feedback!

That was my initial thoughts too.

Basically show the subtitles as it's going along (last 10-20 seconds), and allow a user to copy/paste text or instantly grab sentences.

niiiiiiiiice... i think this is something that alot of schools could use since everything is going online. i'm going to echo @rkhassen9 observation that your pricing model isn't attractive to the average person. this is totally my opinion, but the value here is the amount of notes you collect. while the average person is not willing to pay to record note, businesses are definitely willing to pay to retrieve the notes…

I'm trying to understand why businesses would pay for these notes. The only things that come to mind are research/AI purposes-- essentially having a dataset to feed into marketing or market-research efforts? Maybe someone can enlighten me.

businesses pay HUGE money for focus groups and A/B testing. think of the notes as detailed points of these. not to mention a wider and honest sample pool.

also... this is great way for businesses to find out more about their competitors.

This has a nice UI, well done on launching! I made something similar but never really thought of monitising it. The focus was on the tagging/annotating for power users with keyboard shortcuts: https://tagx.io

oh, this looks great!
