       Show HN: Anki/Duolingo like app using Educational YouTube videos
        
       Hi HN,  I watch A LOT of educational YouTube videos but wasn't
       forgetting a good chunk of the details because I was only really
       passively watching. So I made a tool that generates quiz
       questions/flashcards from YouTube videos, and uses spaced
       repetition like Anki or Duolingo to keep it in memory.  Let me know
       if you find it cool/useful (or terrible ) or if you want to know a
       bit about the details!

       | Who chooses the videos? It seems ... opinionated.
       | 
       | For example, under 'Physics', we have "The big lie about carbon
       | capture', 'Why (toilet) flushing isn't for everyone', 'The
       | scientific basis for miracles', etc.

       | I too often watch these kinds of videos without really retaining
       | a lot. This is a perfect complement to turn infotainment into
       | time well spent, or at least, less wasted.

       | specific topics of the video.
