I built this because I have a love-hate relationship with YouTube. It's an incredible resource, but the platform's design makes it a major productivity trap. I wanted a way to get the knowledge without the time sink.
Wordspike takes any YouTube link and turns it into a clean, readable article with summaries and key insights. It also has a one-click "Send to Kindle" feature. I built the first version in about two weeks using React, Bun, Postgres, and Redis.
Hey HN, I'm the creator of Wordspike.
