Overview
Here's a draft — clear, honest, hits the non-financial angle early for the reviewer:
---
HashChan YT adds a decentralized, censorship-resistant comment sidebar to every YouTube video. Threads live on-chain via the HashChan protocol — no central server, no moderation, no takedowns.
How it works
When you open a YouTube video, HashChan YT checks for an existing on-chain thread for that video. If one exists, you can read and reply to posts. If not, you can start the first thread. Your Ethereum wallet signs each post — that's it. No account, no email, no profile.
Features
- Per-video threads anchored to the YouTube video ID
- Markdown editor for posts with live preview
- Browse all HashChan YT threads in the Home tab
- Reverse-chunked indexing for limited RPC endpoints
- Draggable sidebar, Alt+H shortcut, remembers open state across videos
- Works with any injected Ethereum wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, etc.)
Non-commercial & open source
HashChan YT collects no data, takes no fees, sells no tokens, and has no revenue model. The wallet is used solely to sign on-chain posts. Gas fees go to the network — nothing goes to us. The full source code is available on GitHub.
Getting started
1. Install a browser wallet (MetaMask or similar)
2. Connect to a supported network (Sepolia testnet recommended to start)
3. Open any YouTube video and press Alt+H or click the HASHCHAN tab on the right edge
4. Head to Settings to confirm your /yt/ board is detected
5. Start or join a thread
