I wonder why everyone seems to get what this does from reading the description. When I read "eat and shit", I assume that the "food" is "transformed" into ... youtube videos. So I thought this would generate new videos and upload them to youtube automatically, maybe showing the txt files as a huge StarWars scroller, or something.
- p4bl0 15y agoThis is also exactly what I thougth (with the starwars scroller and all!), but the website is pretty self explainatory once you visited it and cliqued "enter txt" link.
- hafifuyku 15y agoSorry. that's me trying to sound cool in 80 characters (minus "Show HN:")
- joebo 15y agoPersonally, I could go for less 'cool' on HN and more clarity and accuracy instead. 'Show HN: roll.io plays youtube videos searching list of text. Useful?' That aside, neat app. It's a clever tagline though.
- p4bl0 15y agoFor this particular link I'm not sure I would have clicked it with the text you suggest. And I'm glad I did click it. But I agree that in the general case, titles on HN should be accurate rather than catchy.
- random42 15y agoNo need to. We prefer quality over wordiness.
- adolph 15y agoYeah, I had uploaded the first 10 chapters of Moby Dick, all along thinking "what is this annoying video playing," before realizing it doesn't do a StarWars scroller.
