Show HN: Anki/Duolingo-like app using educational YouTube videos

Hi HN,

I watch A LOT of educational YouTube videos but wasn't forgetting a good chunk of the details because I was only really passively watching. So I made a tool that generates quiz questions/flashcards from YouTube videos, and uses spaced repetition like Anki or Duolingo to keep it in memory.

Let me know if you find it cool/useful (or terrible ) or if you want to know a bit about the details!

Very cool!

Nice

So far it’s basically a heuristic for the video having both captions and the token count for generation be reliably under the limit, but I am working on making it work for arbitrary length videos! I did some tests for 2-3 hour podcasts and it worked pretty well

When I saw Anki/Duolingo in the bio I assumed it was for language learning, but this is a great idea!

I too often watch these kinds of videos without really retaining a lot. This is a perfect complement to turn infotainment into time well spent, or at least, less wasted.
