Pillar

Inspiration

Millions of new eyecatching thumbnails are posted on YouTube every day. That means more people may become distracted and procrastinate for hours on end by watching pointless YouTube videos. We wanted to create a website that would allow people to browse through YouTube without unnecessary distraction and to become the most productive they can be!

What it does:

People often spend a lot of time browsing for a video to watch. Our app helps users to search a video faster by removing the thumbnail which cuts down on distractions and shows only relevant information: title and description.

How we built it

built with python Flask framework, dataPrep python library, and ES6 JavaScript

Challenges we ran into

Understanding how to use connector API. Linking information returned from API to webpage

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Working prototype!

What we learned

Learned how the connector API works. Learned about the pandas dataframe

What's next for Pillar

Continue to add additional features such as history logs, tracker that shows how long you spent watching youtube. Mobile application
