Hey Product Hunt, I built this to scratch my own itch and catch up on my "watch later" list. Let me know what you think!

@bradjasper Love the idea, Its annoying when I am on the underground and i don't have anything to watch and listen too. This sort of idea is always though for content owners tho as they dont get ad revenue or videos from offline content. Also the sites that offer youtube mp3 downloaders are just people looking to download free music and listen to it offline.

@sab8a Good points! Would love to find a way to still support content creators with this, not sure the best way there right now. Also if I see people using it to download music I’ll likely add some restrictions to help stop it, thanks for feedback!

I would love to use this! However my first attempt was unsuccessful. I tried to paste a longer youtube video (1:20h) and it just froze in "pending". Also, if I close the tab and come back to the site again I would expect to see my podcast channel with 1 item pending or something. Instead it treats me like a stranger :-/

@martin_christov same here. I love the idea, but it doesn't work. Always pending even with short youtube videos.

@martin_christov Sorry for the issues, the server ran out of space! I think that was the problem, I'm upgrading now and everything should get processed, thanks!

Listenbox also does this

@meoyawn Does Listenbox work with video on any website? or only Youtube? And is it free?

@michael_spencer works with many sites. It's free, but Listen Later feature is in the paid Listener plan. There's a 14 day free trial

Clever idea. Useful for those that don't pay for YouTube's premium plan which allows for background audio play in the app.

Amazing idea. I tried to do it and got Warning: SQLite3Stmt::execute(): Unable to execute statement: database or disk is full in /var/www/listenlater/db.php on line 144

Great work! Thank you. I created an iOS shortcut that sends the URL of my current webpage to my listen later podcast page. I added my iOS shortcut to my iPhone share shelf. Now whenever I'm browsing around and stumble upon a video with an interview or a panel discussion or a documentary, I share the web page, select my iOS shortcut from the share options and, voila, it is instantly added to my listen later playlist. My playlist is added to my Overcast podcast player. Presto, the video is instantly available as a podcast in Overcast for listening during the long commute home. Love it.

Overcast is only loading the first 3 entries from my ListenLater list but my list has 16 entries, I checked all my Overcast settings and they look fine. What am I doing wrong?
