However, I have recently transitioned towards becoming better at compiling information quickly rather than spending a chunk of my day memorizing facts that I am not quite sure will be useful.
This is fantastic! Is there a way to donate? This is the kind of software I want to see in the world!
I've always wanted to do this for Wikipedia, it could even be a Wikimedia add-on. However, I have recently transitioned towards becoming better at compiling information quickly rather than spending a chunk of my day memorizing facts that I am not quite sure will be useful.

"educational entertainment" videos are way too many, way too popular and binge-able - much more recommended by YT's AI. Actual education are much harder to discover on YouTube. I have been wanting to build a YT front-end that lets me control how many "new" videos are recommended. New videos are the time-sinks. Instead this new FE should make me re-watch so I absorb and retain better - maybe thru more Q&A like OP's pl…
This is a problem I've had too, my current solution is to have multiple profiles on YouTube so whenever I click on a random video one it doesn't pollute my other education heavy account. Also just removing videos helps... but even then YouTube still pushes edu-tainment over harder educational videos. One of my ideas that's on the backburner is build a BERT classifier to separate between Educational, edu-tainment, and…
The YT algo is pretty good - it catches on to what I want to follow and magnifies (ie suggest more content on) that topic. But it never pushes me to educational videos.
I suspect educational videos are best to watch on Coursera. I know people who just open up Coursera and start listening on commutes, etc - instead of infi-scrolling.
The pedagogical (instruction techniques, content structure, etc) aspect in those vids is different. I wonder if there is inspiration for creators/topics from Coursera?
Right now I'm doing this manually by copy/pasting into ChatGPT but I want to automate this aspect. I'm not very technical so any guidance you could provide would be helpful :)
I wanted to have a bookmarking site that allows me to add my own time-stamped notes to YouTube videos I watch for learning purposes.
I was using OneNote without any such features.
This is very cool! I'm trying to do something technically similar by using LLMs to summarize the meeting transcript from youtube ( https://parths-newsletter-78dbcb.beehiiv.com/ ).

I like the idea. I’m learning European Portuguese, so I added a video but unfortunately got an error that there were no subtitles. The subtitles for the video in question are auto-generated, so maybe that’s the reason? Would be great if I could use this for foreign language studies.
