ContentFind

text search on video/audio content
video page with transcript and clipping tool
transcribe videos on platforms which don't provide transcripts

Inspiration

I wanted to search large collections of unedited Twitch VODs without having to manually download the transcripts every time. I wanted to be able to have an easy way for a community to make/share clips that are longer than a minute.

What it does

Search index/transcription as a service + community clips (that can be longer than a minute)

How we built it

Next.js, Cloudflare Pages, Cloudflare Workers, Cloudflare D1, Supabase

Challenges we ran into

time, CORS

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Getting the app built in a week as a solo dev

What we learned

AI can be very helpful with frontend development with React + TailwindCSS. .srv1 files are youtube's most compact subtitle format. Twitch let's you upload your VODs directly from Twitch to a youtube channel.

What's next for ContentFind

Scale up backend.
Support more platforms.
Support indexing of video playlists (eg. of all videos featuring a streamer across different channels on a given platform).
AI features: automatic clips/highlights, channel lore?
Community features: clip upvotes, allow content creators to private/monetize their the channel pages?
