#3Interesting project, but as op said email modal on mobile can't be navigated out of.

#4Really interesting, are you searching through Youtube? Wonder what other sources that you are getting the source data out of

#5I tried to look for some math topics, such as "harmonic analysis", "lie algebras" and "model theory" - unfortunately none of the matches were relevant for any of the queries

#6Looks interesting. As someone going through all of Dr Jordan Peterson's lectures, I put him in the search and only one of his talks (with Joe Rogan) came up. Please add his stuff if you get the chance (he has a YT channel). It'd also be nice to be able to find like-minded talks.
Also, when pressing the back button through some searches, the URL changed with me but the results stayed the same.

#7The idea is really good, but there is still a long way to go.
Searching for "python simulation" (a suggested search, btw) yields results such as "introduction to programming lecture 23" - short of watching the lecture, how am I supposed to judge it's relevancy? There is no description, and the title contains neither "python" nor "simulation".
Also, the email sign up modal is enough to not make you want to return.

#8Good initiative.
Suggestion:
The content could be categorized.For example - the lecture of MOOCs should be at one place.
Problem: Say, I am browsing page 5 for some query and I change the query, it shows page 5 of the current query rather than page 1 and if the content of current query is not enough to reach page 5, it shows "No results found, sorry!".

#9Nice! That's going to be very useful when learning a new topic/technology
How are the hits ranked? I imagine just time? Do you have a list of all sources you used?

Seconded. It's super annoying and while it can be worked around, I don't like having to deal with it following me around as I scroll.
