YouNote is an AI-powered note taking Web-app for effortless learning. Instantly generate clear, concise notes from any YouTube video or selected Topic. Just paste a Youtube URL or enter a Topic you want study notes on. All your notes are saved for access later, so you can revisit key insights also the original Youtube video/ topic anytime. I used marked.js for making the readibility of notes pleasurable for users as markeddown formating and styling is pre-applied to all notes. Further users can always edit and delete notes as they need.
