TimeComments: Chrome Extension for Efficient Video Watching
TimeComments is a free Chrome extension developed by bo.miric. It falls under the category of Browsers and the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. This extension aims to enhance the video watching experience by providing users with comments and bookmarks with timestamps.
When you start watching a video, TimeComments wakes up and scans all possible sources for comments with timestamps. These comments are the public ones posted by users below the video. The extension then presents these comments above the video timeline and in a text-only view beside the video. This allows users to quickly access relevant comments without having to search through the entire comment section.
In addition to public comments, TimeComments also offers a bookmarking functionality. Users can create private comments, or bookmarks, that refer to specific time points in the video. These bookmarks are only visible to the user and are presented in the same place and manner as the public comments. There is also a dedicated page where users can view all their bookmarks in one place, accessible through the extension's menu.
TimeComments aims to solve the problem of efficiently navigating through videos to find the most important parts. It recognizes that each video may have a specific moment or part that is of utmost importance to the viewer. By providing comments with timestamps and bookmarking functionality, TimeComments empowers users to easily access the "good stuff" in videos, saving them time and enhancing their overall viewing experience.
