VideoHub - my new app built with Elixir and Phoenix

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.
