Yep i use skipvids.com to avoid shorts. I found myself endlessly scrolling like a junky

I welcome the AI to reddit, better than listening to the echo chamber, circle jerk discussions that go on there.

LLM output is also an echo.

I've used I cannot figure out the real benefit of it beyond novelty purposes.

I find Chrome Claude extension more useful for automating tasks online. Before ai I was writing my own macros which basically did the same thing in a more reliable deterministic way.


I use skipvids.com across phone and computer and xbox. I'm too cheap to pay $15.99 per month

Which sites were you viewing the embeds on?

Try skipvids search it removes all the noise, including shorts and ai slop


Skipvids.com recreates the old youtube subscription page experience pretty well.


If they created a simple webview app and framed the website would you use that or the website in your browser? I am just curious to what the OP classes as "convience and accessibility".

I find this an interesting topic. Since many users have requested my websites have an app, but I'm loathed to go through all the hoops of the app stores.


Probably not. It's the same experience as the website. I've tried adding it to home screen so it opens immediately like a bookmark.


So you like the responsiveness and snappiness of an app?

It would be nice if they could reduce the dashboards memory consumption while they're at it!


Claude is good for producing 1 shot polished apps, but you will quickly burn through your allowance.

Chatgpt needs more prompting to get what you want, but its nearly impossible to reach your limit.


I have the same experience with Claude, but it's been rare for me to hit limits. I tend to ask it one or two improvements to the app and then I have a time burden of using the app to make sure it's still what I intended. I have the $200 per year plan which I think is the same as $20 per month just I paid in bulk for a discount.


I get it to do my testing for me aswell.


That's a great idea! I'll try it out, it might save me a lot of time. I haven't really done user testing before, how do you test for things like 'still feels responsive ' and 'is easy to use one handed'? I'm currently running with 0 programmed tests but I do spend like 4+ hours just using the app between Claude sessions.


I write my goals. Claude drafts a plan. I then feed it to Claude Chrome extension for live testing. Claude Chrome extension will set up the console inspector, measure response times and change UA if it's part of the plan. I'm sure you could tell Claude Chrome extension "ok make this change on the fly" by injecting JS into the console and do AB testing and output the result in an easy to understand report.
