I built Yourabbit.com — a site that curates hand-picked YouTube rabbit holes grouped by themes like quirky psychology, obscure tech, weird facts, and binge-worthy oddities.

It’s not driven by the YouTube algorithm — every collection is themed and curated manually (for now), with a backend I’m automating to fetch and organize new rabbit holes daily.

Built as a hybrid Astro + Next.js project, optimized for static generation and speed.

I’m also pairing videos with custom summaries and commentary (using AI), and would love feedback from the HN crowd on:

Content model (too wide? not specific enough?)

Scaling ideas or features worth adding

Whether it's fun enough to keep people coming back

Open to any critique or ideas. Thanks!

I encourage you to keep going. Regular TV seems lame to me. A curated selection of YouTube videos is just the ticket. I often find myself browsing it instead of trying to watch some official streaming service.

That means a lot, thanks! That’s exactly what I hoped for: making YouTube feel less like an endless scroll and more like flipping open a good magazine or playlist. I’ll keep adding new rabbit holes every day and always open to suggestions for themes you’d love to see!
