   VoiceTube looks cool! But my app doesn't play the videos -- the videos open in your OS's default video player.

   This is excellent! I'll look into that -- it would be awesome if the default setting (with no extra work on my part) will suit my needs!

   Thank you for the advice. In my case it feels like it would take quite a bit of effort to pull out features from the software and make a stripped-down version available. My primary reason for wanting to share the code is that perhaps it wil

   Thanks for the feedback! I think I'll make the multi-platform messaging more-prominent (perhaps text right on top of the first screen).

   I didn't expect to put in markers ... though if adding tags is to become a feature, perhaps tags that correspond to time might be easy-enough. The trickiest part would be the UI -- making it usable and elegant. Perhaps those markings w

   Thanks for the comment on the contrast. I should have paid more attention to WCAG when picking the color scheme. I'll keep your comment in mind next time I tinker with the UI :)

   Thank you for paying more! Charging more is a balance between larger sales volume (importantly -- more people using the app), and possibly higher revenue (in my case donations to my favorite charity). I'm leaning towards having a lot m

   Great to hear you think it may still have customers at a higher price point! I made the price pay-what-you-want-with-a-minimum (I'm gonna need about tree fiddy :P). I'm unsure how well the app will do in the international market,

    I'm unsure how a Raspberry Pi would handle it. It's an app built with Electron, so it's basically running Chrome (Chromium) under the hood. Here's an old build running as a website: http://dev.yboris.com/

    I grabbed a free online template without too much thought -- but I really should keep this in mind! My goodness! My website is useless without JS at the moment!

    Seems achievable, though would add complexity. Currently all screenshots are standardized (because they are extracted via the same process) and app requires exactly 10 per video with specific file name convention. Seems easier to just re-sc

    Thank you for suggestions! After I finished making the app, it ended up being very consuming making the promotional materials (website, screenshots, YouTube video, etc). I'm studying Machine Learning at the moment, so this project isn&

    I've not found good alternatives, though of course it doesn't mean my version of what I think the software should do is the best fit for everyone ;)

    I've been part of the Effective Altruism movement before it got its name ;) I made a video about it in 2011: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZKh0M9x8s4 It features Nick Beckstead, current Open Philanthropy's Prog

    Primary goal: preview inside the video on hover (scrub). I may be mistaken but I don't think PLEX has it. Video Hub App also has a filmstrip view and a quick and advanced search capabilities (by folder, file name, exclude, etc). PLEX h

    I'd rather relegate importing online videos to another software. Video Hub App should just use whatever is already on the computer (or external hard drive) ;)

    I created this software using Angular, Electron, FFmpeg, and angular2-virtual-scroll. All proceeds go to Against Malaria Foundation (GiveWell's top-rated charity). Currently not open source, but am trying to figure out how to set a lic
