Show HN: ReadTube – YouTube 구독을 개인 하위 스택으로 전환

Turn YouTube subscriptions into a personal newsletter. Reclaim focus in a world engineered for distraction. A quiet reading space for the videos worth your attention, and the thinking they deserve. Full transcripts with AI-generated headlines and multi-level summaries. Skim in ten seconds, read in two minutes, without thumbnails, autoplay, or a feed tugging you toward the next thing. [0:12]So when we say time has an arrow, what we really mean is entropy. [0:18]It's the number of ways you can rearrange a system's microscopic parts without changing how it looks on the outside. [0:27]A broken egg has vastly more microstates than an intact one. [0:32]That's why you never see one spontaneously reassemble, even though nothing in the laws of physics forbids it. [0:41]It's just absurdly, astronomically unlikely. [0:45]The second law isn't a command. It's a statement about statistics. Time's arrow is statistical, not fundamental. Entropy is why yesterday feels different from tomorrow. AI rewrites talks and lectures as narrative or dialogue articles. A 20-minute video becomes a 5-minute read you can annotate, re-read, and return to. We imagine memory as a filing cabinet. You retrieve a file, read it, put it back exactly where you found it. Neuroscience suggests it works more like a document that gets rewritten every time you open it. Every act of remembering is an act of re-encoding. The memory returns to the present moment, picks up the emotional weather of the room, and goes back into storage subtly changed. This is why the past feels more vivid in hindsight than it did at the time. Semantic search across every channel you follow. Your subscriptions become a personal archive of ideas, not a feed you scroll past. Highlight passages, pin timestamped notes, and keep only what you chose to think about. Turn watch time into understanding. The octopus has three hearts, nine brains, and blood that runs blue instead of red. It evolved intelligence along a lineage so distant from ours that it is the closest thing we have to studying alien cognition. Each arm has its own neural cluster. The central brain delegates rather than commands. Two-thirds of the animal's neurons live in its limbs, solving problems locally while the brain supervises from a distance. They open jars. They recognize individual humans. They dream, maybe. And they live only a few years, taking most of what they learn with them when they go. ReadTube pulls transcripts from public videos on: Paste any supported URL and we handle the rest: fetching the transcript, generating headlines, and turning long videos into readable articles. A few kinds of videos don't fit ReadTube's reading-first model: Reading is faster than listening, and reading with structure (headlines, summaries, timestamps) lets you skim, skip, and return. A 20-minute talk becomes a 5-minute read. More importantly, ReadTube turns your subscriptions into a searchable archive you can actually think with: highlight passages, pin notes, and search semantically across every channel you follow. A 2x playback speed can never give you that. Most YouTube summarizers, and YouTube's own AI features, give you a one-off summary for the video you're currently watching, then forget it the moment you close the tab. The summary is the product, and nothing compounds. ReadTube is built the other way around. Every video you add becomes a durable entry in your own library: searchable across every channel you follow, annotatable, and organized so you can return to an idea weeks or months later. The summary is a starting point, not the destination.
