I love learning how to do things on YouTube. It's amazing - empowering, really - that we can
instantly look up how to do so many things. When I looked around for a site dedicated to organizing
and curating this content, I didn't find much, so I took a stab at it. The goal of the site is to
make it easy to browse through and discover videos on different topics.
After implementing the basic experience and authoring tools, I spent weeks combing through
videos to get the collection started, and I've only scratched the surface. Many areas of interest
remain to be added, and to that end, users can submit videos to the database and make other
contributions. If the idea resonates it could become a useful resource.
You don't need to register for the main experience of viewing the videos, only to contribute new
ones, and email is optional.
Great idea, thanks. One potential problem I see is that categories seem too broad, you cover a lot of area here. There's so much good content out there that very quickly just 2 levels won't be enough to categorize it into a browsable lists. The same problem most of us have with bookmarks, at some point there's so many of them that you can't find anything anymore.
RSS and atom are simple xml formats that encapsulate information about posts or items on a site. They are linked on the site with meta tags or in direct a links. Here's a link to some documentation: https://www.xul.fr/en-xml-rss.html#structure
Your framework will also likely have helpers to generate those. And you can contact me directly for help, email is in my profile.
