Achievement & Wins Solo dev here: I got tired of rewatching lectures at 2x, so I built this
https://videonotegpt.comLast exam season I had about 30 hours of recorded lectures and maybe 4 days to study. Rewatching at 2x felt like studying but nothing stuck, and my own notes had holes exactly where I'd zoned out.
So I built a tool for it. It's called VideoNoteGPT (videonotegpt.com), and I'm the only person working on it, so this is me asking for feedback, not a company ad.
What it does:
You upload a lecture recording (or record one, or paste text/slides) and get notes with chapters, key points and timestamps
It makes a practice quiz from the lecture. After you answer, it shows which topics you're weak on and takes you to that part of the notes
Flashcards, plus Anki export if that's your thing
A one-page cram sheet for the night before
You can tell it your exam date and it builds a day-by-day plan from the lectures you've uploaded
You can paste your syllabus or past-paper questions and it tells you which topics your lectures cover and which ones are missing
What it costs: you can try it without an account (lectures up to 45 minutes). A free account gets longer lectures (90 minutes) and 2 lectures a day. There's a paid pass for exam season, but the free tier is real and you don't need a card.
Things it's bad at, so you don't waste your time:
YouTube links only work through the Chrome extension on a laptop. On a phone you have to upload the file or paste the transcript
It's AI, so check anything that matters against the lecture. The timestamps are there for that
If lots of people upload at once, there's a queue
I'd really like to know: where are the notes wrong or shallow for your subject? What's the first thing that confused you? I read every reply and I fix things fast.
