Finishing my app to take notes on Videos:
I am aiming to put it online on my playground by this weekend.
Edit: It’s up https://video-hub.exadra37.com
Ooo looks good Paulo! When’s it going live?

Maybe tomorrow or Sunday.
It’s still very green, keeping discovering bugs here and there.
Basically this is the Programming Phoeniox 1.3 book app that I made some years ago, with some features added and some makeover.

Currently working on deleting notes feature:

I made it available as an Alpha release on a subdomain of my personal site:
https://video-hub.exadra37.com/
A good example of a video where I have added a lot of notes and bookmarks:
https://video-hub.exadra37.com/watch/6-robert-virding---hitchhiker-s-tour-of-the-beam
Watching videos and taking notes helps me memorize better what I learn from them, and also to revisit later the video to find something I know its on it.
Please feel free to use it for real, that I guarantee that I will keep the database between updates to the website, and once I release it to production I will migrate the database too.
Currently is only a Minimal Viable Product with its bare-bones, but I have great plans for it:
- Allow discussions to be limited by invited users or open to the public, provided they are registered users.
- Allow to write video articles
- Allow to define private and public content, aka videos, notes and discussions.
- Add tags.
- Add search.
- Social network sharing.
- Add Video url only, and then call the Youtube API to get the video data.
- Support for Vimeo videos if possible to implement.
- Allow to comments on notes.
- Allow to start a discussion from a note.
- Add like button via emojis.
- Add flag button.
- Filter videos.
- Password recovery functionality.
- And many more
Feel also free to suggest anything you would like to see implemented.

Looks awesome Paulo!! (When you’re ready we can split into a dedicated thread 
)
I love how fast it is! Are you using any caching at all? Perhaps you could write a blog about it or post more details in a thread (we have projects and showcase section on EF that you could make use of :D)

Thanks for feedback. It means a lot 
You can split now if you want.
No cache at all, and I am not happy with the speed of it, because I am more up to north of you, while you are almost at the data-center doors.
Plus, I am also loading third-party JS that I plan to reduce/remove in the future in order to increase page speed loading time.
My blog is now automated for deployments, thus I feel more willing to write on it, and once I have the app a little more polished I will write about it.
I know of it, and I will post there once I have polished the app a little more. Thanks for the suggestion

Ok done… let me know if you want to change the title or anything 
I recently stripped a load of Foundation JS stuff out of Devtalk. Foundation has been great in the past, particularly for legacy browser compatibility but I don’t think it’s needed nowadays. I’m looking forward to learning tailwind 
Awesome
