Inspiration

One time, I came across a 50 minute video about a topic I was researching. It seemed great, but I thought it was too long. At that time, I wished I had a way I could get all the information from this information-rich video in a short period of time.

What it does

SkimVid takes in a YouTube video URL, and outputs a full summary of the given video.

How I built it

SkimVid is built through Flask and a variety of PyPi APIs.

Challenges I ran into

I had no experience in Flask, so learning it was a bit challenging. Also, deploying it was difficult as I have only ever made Svelte and static websites, so I had to find a server that could host my code.

Accomplishments that I am proud of

I am proud to have built a working application that I can actually use in my day-to-day life.

What I learned

I learned how to integrate web code and Python through Flask. I also learned the whole full stack process (frontend, backend, and deployment)

What's next for SkimVid

I will try to add a feature where users can ask the AI questions about the topic. I will also try to polish the website with better design and general communication (ex homepage, about page, etc.)
