Show HN: Add "gist" to any YouTube URL to get instant video summaries

[sh4jid]

Hello HN!

Between academics and everything else on my plate, I still find myself watching way too many YouTube videos. So I built `youtubegist` - just add `gist` after `youtube` in any video URL to get an instant summary.

Before: https://youtube.com/watch?v=<...> After: https://youtubegist.com/watch?v=<...>

I know there are other YouTube summarization tools, but they're either cluttered, paywalled, or don't format summaries the way I need them. So I made my own that's free, open source, and dead simple.

One cool thing, if you install it as a PWA (on Android using Google Chrome), you can share YouTube URLs into it from the YouTube app, and it should summarize the video for you!

Please leave your feedback if you tried it out! Thank you!

Thank you, this is really good, just what I was looking for.

I was using a browser extension, but it stopped working.

Thank you for taking a look!

Generated Summaries are low-quality...

May be the model I'm using currently is not cut out for the job! Thank you for pointing this out!
