Javaughn here, I'm on the team that built TLDW. The most precious things for founders is usually time and knowledge/insights. Having to watch start-up videos often waste time, so why not skip to the part of the video that answers the questions you're trying to ask?

TLDW allows you to do that and so much more! Enjoy and upvote us if you like it.

Happy to answer any questions you have too!

    Why doesn't your website respect the "back" button?

      hi qppo, we built this site over the last few days for a hackathon, so haven't be able to make all the product edits we wanted to create a delightful experience

      thanks so much for your comment and for checking our site

Hi. I did something similar back in 2016 - scripting/abusing the youtube api to skip inside the video.

https://tldws-16b54.web.app/#/discover A little side project that went nowhere.

Website's up, but I'm not sure api calls work anymore.

Anyway, I'm all for TLDWing videos. You are welcome to message me if you think I can contribute eyalfein@gmail.com

I think this is a great product you've built.

Suggestion: for each snippet / moment you show, show the thumbnail at that time.

This is really cool! I'd love if I could search a phrase and have all video snippets coalesced together!

I think this is a great idea.

I wish you luck.

You probably have plans to promote. If not already, you should start building the email list for your self and launch on as many platform as you can, ex: product hunt, pitch ground, app sumo, there are so many :)

As a founder myself, i wish you all the success!
