youtube-notetaker

dair-aiby dair-ai7 days ago509

Turn any YouTube talk into a studyable, interactive deep-dive stored as plain markdown: extract slide images at their timestamps, build a clean [HH:MM:SS] transcript, write editable notes, and save everything as one markdown file per video in a local library folder. A bundled zero-dependency server (serve.py) renders the whole library as a single-page artifact (front-page index + per-video split pane: slide deck + embedded player + searchable transcript) with notes that save back to the markdown files. Fully self-contained: no external services, configurable library path. Use when the user gives a YouTube URL and wants to study a talk, capture slides, take timestamped notes, or build a talk library. Triggers on: "deep-dive this talk", "extract slides from this video", "add this YouTube video to my study library", "take notes on this talk", followed by a YouTube URL.
