I created https://videoplaylist.online a few months ago. The idea was to alow users to quickly tag youtube video using a bookmarklet, and then play these youtube videos. It has a `quick select` feature that allows user to quickly create a temporary playlist and put the entire list on autoplay loop.

I wanted to create this app because I listen to music on youtube a lot, and I usually add the videos that I like to a youtube playlist, but I did not find a way to quickly pick videos from multiple playlists/bookmarks (i.e. mixing) and play them. The `quick select` feature does just that.

Nobody seems to think this is a good idea (and they are probably right). So I'm the only user of my own app :)



I created a youtube playlist app, as well, and I'm also the only user of my own app. :) http://play.mindcast.com

Note: It's desktop-only as I use it from my desktop, and since I'm the only one using it, I didn't bother supporting mobile.


I looked into this type of app recently, sites that aggregate YouTube videos, specifically for kids so the content is totally curated. I found out that multichannel networks were a big thing a few years ago, then went away due to lack of ways to monetize.
