An alternative YouTube app for my kids.

YouTube's algorithm is all about engagement - more video game videos, more brainrot, their algorithm doesn't care about the content as long as the kid is watching.

My system allows parents to define their children's interests (e.g., a 12-year-old who enjoys DIY engineering projects, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and drawing fantasy figures)

.. and specify how the AI should filter video candidates (e.g., excluding YouTube Shorts).

Periodically, the system prompts the child with something like

"Tell me about your favorite family vacation."

And their response to that prompt provides the system with more ideas and interests to suggest videos to them.

email me if you'd like to test jim.jones1@gmail.com
