Idea validation - chrome extension for taking notes from youtube videos

People spend a lot of time on youtube learning from free videos and playlists so I'm thinking about making a chrome extension that helps people taking notes while watching those videos.
The chrome extension will show a text editor under the youtube video and let people add notes with a timestamp so the user can come back to the video anytime and access those notes easily.

  • The idea is still raw so what do you think about it?
  • Is there some app or extension with the same idea or do the same thing?

    I am looking into doing sth similar (well, sort of) but in the audio space. In particular, I need to have a tool that converts audio into text with a timestamp, at a start/stop selected by the user. It's equivalent to a highlighting feature in Kindle. Would be keen if someone could help develop it with me:)

      It sounds a good idea but needs a lot of work to make it accurate.

    Not sure if it is the same type of tool, but it may help https://www.beastnotes.com/

      Thank you for this link. it is very useful but the idea I have is simpler and more effective. The text editor should be embedded in the page itself, not a box flows over the page. Also, there will be a timestamp for every note so you you click on any note to go to the specific minute in the video. you can watch this video to get the idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U2Xdk4LXwE
