Ask HN: What are your key use cases for bulk YouTube subtitle downloading?

2•Franklinjobs617•3mo ago
Hey everyone,

I'm the creator of YTVidHub (a simple tool for downloading YT subtitles, now adding proper bulk support). Before I finalize the paid tiers and future features (like better AI transcription), I'm doing a quick community survey to make sure I'm building what people actually need.

My early assumption was that most users are casual language learners, but I recently got feedback from a user who needs to download hundreds of files to feed into an LLM for Mandarin research. That was a huge "Aha!" moment for me.

So, if you currently bulk download subtitles, or if you've ever wished you could, what are your core needs?

1. Use Cases: What drives your frequent, bulk download needs? (e.g., academic research, competitor analysis, creating translations for niche languages, language immersion, etc.) 2. Volume & Frequency: How many videos do you typically need to process in a single batch, and how often do you need that capacity? (e.g., 500 URLs once a month; 100 URLs every week). 3. Technical Pain Points: Are there any frustrating technical issues you constantly run into? (e.g., poor AI quality in certain languages, handling timestamps, getting clean JSON output, hitting API rate limits).

Any insights, technical issues, or feature requests you share will be incredibly helpful and directly guide the product's roadmap.

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge!
