A solution to turn YouTube video playlists into a cleanly formatted text document
“But when I wanted to actually study the content, make notes, or review everything without distractions, I realized how limiting YouTube really was. There is no easy way to extract the content, structure it, and turn it into something readable offline. That's before I discovered an incredible GitHub project that lets you take a YouTube playlist and spit out a clean, formatted document that you can turn into an eBook, a PDF study guide, or even a blog post. It’s a simple Python-based tool, but what it enables Python-based tools is kind of magical. Here's how it works.”
This could be pretty useful for those who want an indexed reference to a long series of tutorials on some topic covered on YouTube, to study, share, or archive. It basically involves cloning the GitHub repository provided, and having Python installed.
It also makes use of Google Gemini to help with formatting, summarising, etc to make the output more meaningful.
