WatchTech is a tool aiming to make technology watch easier.

Initially focused on turning youtube subscriptions into a summarized text feed.

Now exploring expanding to many other sources like:

• Hacker News
• Twitter
• Medium
• Linkedin

🔧 How it works

WatchTech connects to your YouTube subscriptions, automatically retrieves new videos, and generates concise text summaries using AI. The summaries are delivered as a clean, scrollable feed—similar to a news reader—so you can quickly scan everything your favorite channels have published without watching a single video.

The workflow is simple:

• you subscribe to your favorite sources
• new contents are automatically retrieved and summarized
• you casually browse them and get key information in a few minutes

💡 Context and motivations

This project emerged from a problem several of my engineer friends and I were experiencing: staying up to date with the latest tech news and releases is time consuming and exhausting.

As we were following several Youtube channels in the tech space, we ended up feeling drowned in content. Finding time to watch every video from our subscriptions was impossible, and picking the most relevant ones felt too random.

I built WatchTech so that skimming through all your subscriptions becomes not only possible but fast—on your phone in the subway or during your lunch break.

🧠 Key learnings

Aside from the direct benefit of using this tool daily, this project has been a great opportunity to experiment with Celery queues, RabbitMQ, Redis and SSE. In particular, I had fun building a real time SSE stream for new sources & contents ingestion to display live processing progress in the UI.
