Hey @cyborgafterall Sorry for the very late reply as I was back in China for some family commitments past weeks.
Thanks very much for kindly reviewing my MVP and pointing out the typo 
. Zapier is a brilliant suggestion! The process of getting data from YouTubers will definitely need to be more automatic! My MVP is too minimal
Love your discussion with @santy about getting users and building a user community. That’s exactly what is in my mind now. How to get more YouTubers other than my wife to give me feedback on this project? I tried to cold email YouTubers but it doesn’t work well. After reading a blog from Paul Graham, Do things not scale, I decided to attend networking events to recruit my user manually. And I got my first ever user!! He is a YouTuber in Sydney with 150k subscribers. People is surprisingly willing to try my product if I meet him/her in person. Now, I’m going to scrape data manually from his channel, make a customised model and send a personal link (probably oldfatboy.com/his-chanel-name) to him.
I have a crazy idea of organising the first-ever Australia YouTuber Summit in Sydney to let more YouTubers come to meet me. My plan is to make a summit website first and some agenda with fake speakers. See if anyone would sign up for ticket pre-sale. If there is traction, I’ll really invite these speakers.
I want to share with you another exciting news that happened to me last weekend. I went to meet Jeremy as the organiser of Sydney Fast.ai Meetup!! How great is that! He is an amazingly friendly and remarkable person to talk with!
I also met two brilliant fast.ai alumni like you at the meetup with Jeremy and one of them is interested in working together on the current project. I feel it would be great to have a team. Did you build your remarkable Echo Chess just on your own? That would be very impressive considering you also need to do word-of-mouth promotion. Another question is How did you manage to make the top of Hacker News? I tried to make a post but doesn’t work well.
Another idea. I’m thinking about organising an online meetup for fast.ai people to share their projects and learn from each other. Because I feel very rewarded for my Sydney Meetup where members shared their machine-learning projects and helped each other. Would be very cool to meet more fascinated Fast.ai people like you online. I believe many new fast.ai students like me will also find your project inspire their imagination!
