I saw someone post this (VideoGist): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38555629

And encouraged my friend to share his similar project.

I always had this idea in the back of my head -- watching tons of AWS re:invent and other videos that are technical talks using a slide deck. Kudos for shipping!

Not able to get this to work -- will try again later in case the issue is temporary.

Hi Albert, can you paste the Youtube URL you are trying? This is still under development and many features will be launched soon.

Sorry for the late response and thanks for checking.

I forgot what I tried last time but here is another youtube video I tried-- this worked but gave me slightly unexpected results.

The tool detected 200 Slides instead of just 5-10 because the presenter used a pointer / cursor highlighter to point at each line.

Maybe you can add a user control to set Sensitivity of slide transition detection -- how much of a change and what type of change from frame to frame should count as a new slide.

Another advanced feature could be grouping all similar looking Slides in series after the fact and presenting a choice to user which one(s) to keep or discard from the set of near duplicates.
