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

#13Great to see, here's a YouTube chrome extension I made that shows the timestamp comments publicly https://raven-points.herokuapp.com/

You can do this now using Hypothesis at docdrop.org-- just pick a youtube video and add URL.

Or, an open-source alternative like Zettlr, Logseq, or Athens (coming soon): https://github.com/athensresearch/athens
In general, we shouldn't let expensive paid software like Roam leech value from plugins made by volunteers!

didn't know about docdrop, I thought it was similar to Annotate.tv but I got: "Our video annotation capability works for YouTube videos that have either human or machine-generated transcripts.". That's not a requisite on Annotate.

You need to choose a YT video that has a auto-generated transcript. About 80%+ videos do I think. Choose another one. Docdrop+Hypothesis only works on transcripts-- it's not a timecode video annotator.

#18A couple months ago I launched a site (https://familymemorystream.com/) that allows annotating videos but is targeted towards the niche of converted family videos.
I was considering opening it up to make a generic "video note taker" version; it looks like you beat me to it :) Best wishes! It will be interesting to see where you end up with the pricing model. It looks like you're using YouTube/Vimeo for the video hosting so that frees you up to do one-time purchases if you want since your server costs will likely stay fairly constant across scale.

that looks great. Yeah, I'm still figuring out the business model. I think a one time purchase is probably what I'm going to do. BTW, after launching it in Product Hunt I saw a few similar ideas too :)
