Hey Product Hunt 👋 Built this because I kept needing to quote or reference something from a YouTube video and ended up manually scrolling through the transcript panel, copying line by line. This just pulls the whole thing in one click. It's part of Toolstack, a small set of tools I've been building and shipping solo — this is the simplest one, so figured it'd be a good one to bring here on its own. Would love to hear what you think, and happy to answer anything about how it works under the hood.

Building this in public — would love early feedback before launch

Hey! I'm launching YouTube Transcript Exporter here in a couple of days, but wanted to open this thread early.

It's a simple Chrome extension: click it on any YouTube video, get the full transcript instantly clean, timestamped, ready to copy or download as .txt. Built it because I kept manually scrolling through YouTube's transcript panel and got tired of it.

If you deal with video content regularly (research, content writing, note-taking, whatever) curious what would make this actually useful for your workflow. Batch export? Specific formats (Markdown, SRT)? Summarization?

Happy to answer anything about how it works too.
