Show HN: YouTubeTLDR – A lightweight, self-hosted YouTube summarizer in Rust
There are many commercial YouTube summarizers, but I couldn't find an open-source one that truly fit my needs. So, I built YouTubeTLDR: a simple, self-hostable solution that uses the Gemini API without much bloat.
I went with a synchronous approach + threading which was a nice break from Tokio.
It is Bring Your Own Key, but the key is sent to the server for each request, which is something I might revise in the future.
There is a demo on https://youtubetldr.onrender.com/ https://youtubetldr.onrender.com/
- milkshift 1y agoThere seems to be a bug in the demo causing "INNERTUBE_API_KEY not found" errors, seeing what I can do Edit: Google detects suspicious activity and sends a captcha for Render's IP. Sorry I didn't check earlier!
- KodyBerns99 1y agolooks cool plus its open source
