This isn't eligible for Show HN - please see https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html - so I've taken that out of the title now.

Because it's a "list"? I don't think that's correct, there's ballpark 200k different pages with unique content in that app, that's a lot more than just a list.

It's not really an interactive product that people can 'try out' or 'play with'. It's an information repository. Nothing wrong with that, but it's not really in the Show HN spirit. I admit it's a borderline call.

Looks cool! curious how you sourced and tagged the channels? We have a few popular anatomy channels in different languages[0], but I couldn’t find any of our videos when searching for “anatomy” and also results were quite mixed. Some videos were quite unrelated or very loosely related at best. [0] main one in English https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHn_K1zOBYZqtmIYkXLEIQw

It's in the database: https://limnology.co/en/creators/UCHn_K1zOBYZqtmIYkXLEIQw And on the second page for the anatomy keyword https://limnology.co/en/languages/en/keywords/anatomy?page=2 I think it got somewhat downranked because of the recent views/subscribers mismatch

Thank you!

> I think it got somewhat downranked because of the recent views/subscribers mismatch

Can you explain what you mean? also what about higher ranked results that don’t match the topic that closely? are you relying on YouTube’s ranking for keywords or do your own?

Can you also add greek? I'm always on the look for good content for my children but can't find much in my language :(

I second that "astronio" is pretty good.

Yes I've seen some episodes but I'm looking for something for younger children...

Unfortunately all the other languages have too few results, I just checked and Greek only has 0.7% as many channels as English in the db, so it'd only be a few pages of content

Yes it seems that too few people understand greek to make it worthwhile to produce quality content in my language :(

Don't hesitate to share if you stumble upon something. Kid is 1½ yo so could be useful too.
