Hey everyone 👋 I'm Ega, solo maker behind Ravenote. Short version of why I built it: I finished a lot of Udemy courses and somehow remembered almost none of it a week later. Same with YouTube deep-dives. I kept making Notion docs full of notes I never reopened. Ravenote is a Chrome extension that turns passive watching into actual learning: • Auto-captures the transcript from Udemy + YouTube (no copy-paste) • Generates structured notes with key terms bolded + "Key Takeaways" • Extracts the core concepts from each lecture into a spaced-repetition system (SM-2) that quizzes you days later on what you were about to forget • Optional "active" mode: when you rewind a section, it offers a clearer explanation unprompted A few design calls worth naming: → BYOK by default - bring your own OpenRouter key, we never touch your API bill. Or pay $9 one-time for a real Lifetime plan that unlocks generation credits with no key required. → Privacy-first - transcripts go only to the AI provider you chose. Notes live on your device. Usage analytics are anonymous. → No subscription trap - Lifetime means lifetime. Pro ($5/mo) exists for people who want the credits without the key-management. Would love feedback on: 1. Does the "active study buddy" framing click, or feel oversold? 2. What platform should I add next - Coursera? edX? Skillshare? 3. If you try it - what's breaking for you? First version has rough edges. I'm shipping fixes daily. - Ega
