About Talkshelf
Talkshelf connects videos discussed on Hacker News with their discussion context and selected English study materials.
What you can do here
Browse the full catalog, read video overviews and original HN comments, and choose a video by topic, creator or learning goal. Save videos locally for later or return through your viewing history.
Where the video catalog comes from
The catalog uses the data export from Andrej Karpathy’s HackerTube project. His launch post explains its origins. Read the HackerTube guide for the distinction between that project, other sites using its name, and Talkshelf.
How study materials work
Selected videos have English notes, practice questions, editable flashcards and a PPT outline below the player. Available materials and videos awaiting materials are listed separately. A PPT outline is not a finished presentation.
Watch the original video, try answering a question before checking the explanation, then review difficult concepts with flashcards. Study tools require JavaScript; video guides and discussion excerpts are readable without it.
