I don't know much about git backups, but why would there be race conditions if you just create the backup off the local repo instead of remote?

Does it just scrape all pages of a site?

Adds search for videos with existing transcripts (including auto generated). All client-side.

A future feature could be generating transcripts for videos without one.

I agree, tested it on hour long videos with 800+ transcript tokens (separate timestamp). Was happy with performance.

Compressed video on landing page now, ty! :)

Some new features could be:

- add it to other sites that have videos

- improve search with AI.

Some performance updates:

- parse transcripts from request, not the html

- filter using overlay (inject my own html) instead of mutating the DOM (loops through all elements and changes display attribute)

Yes, do you have any suggestions?

Does anyone know why YouTube hasn't made this a full feature? Corporate bureaucracy?

I built an extension that injected a search bar into the transcript card. Worked by filtering the YouTube transcripts themselves, and manipulating their display attribute.

Didn't release it to the store because YouTube released a search feature and it looked exactly like mine.
