Post Description

YouTube is an incredible resource for MOOCs, but the platform itself is an absolute minefield of distractions.

Curatube fixes this by transforming public playlists into focused, interactive courses entirely free from the feed. Take timestamped notes side by side with the video, navigate lectures effortlessly using interactive transcripts.

Best of all, it's open source and designed to be easily self hosted!
