Show HN: TubePen - My attempt to get more out of YouTube learning
Hi HN! I made this because I always forget what I'm trying to learn
from YouTube. Test yourself: Can you remember the main concepts
from the last (educational) video you watched? So, why not
highlight and take notes on YouTube videos, just like in books?
That's TubePen. Sign in, replace "youtube" with "tubepen" in your
YouTube URL, and you're ready to retain more from your videos. I'd
love your feedback! What do you think of my landing page? Use the
10-day free trial and see if it's useful for you. Thanks!

| page and look like interactive elements. I would either try to

| make them interactive

| Thank you very much for the feedback!

|
| Also there are many typos on the site. Like "loged in as"

|
| Typos are also my fault as english isn't my mother language,
| Will check that also.

| Another typo is "Acess to the entire platform"

| The OP sorted out the subscription/signup/billing issues.

|
| Another reason I signed up was because I was curious how the
| YouTube videos were being embedded. It seems like just via
| the YouTube API?
