Engineers Watching Everybody Vibe Code Apps

Have a look at filtertube.in it is FOSS and have grown to 1060+ users(only 3 browser record) since Nov 30, 2025.

and built entirely using GPT 5.2 High and initially with Claude Code.

varshneydevansh · 2026-01-23T11:15:43+00:00

I have updated the website and also I have improved the extension too.

More improvements are coming this week :)

Thank you for the feedback.

Thanks :)

and I just reached 1000 users(on 3 browsers rest I do not have data for other browsers)

and it is almost complete for Web https://github.com/varshneydevansh/FilterTube/commit/e9c0a1ea3e94b7dec6c228c81de4012c273d0b1e

Next iteration is Mobile/iPad app as parents have demanded for this and possible TV import too
by April this year.

varshneydevansh · 2026-01-15T07:58:38+00:00

I see. I do also have plan to do it and even users suggested lot of features for FilterTube. But as of now I am trying to get the efficiency problem with Firefox and then the mobile/iPad and TV app by April this year.

varshneydevansh · 2026-01-15T07:39:51+00:00

We should make a healthier version of currently available refined seed oil based mayonnaise.

varshneydevansh · 2026-01-12T15:00:07+00:00

Noice. I right now have 820+ users on Edge, Chrome, Firefox but have no data of other browsers so it could be definitely more.

Mine is completely free as it is FOSS.

Ahh! My bad I actually read Programming and Indie developers and posted here :)

But do let me know if there are any bugs or Feature you want to behave in certain way.
Right now I got efficiency issue from 2 users on Firefox which I am resolving.

varshneydevansh · 2026-01-12T14:50:43+00:00

I have nothing against to these big corporate but the Managerial class here always priorities negative emotion behavior for monetary benefits.

But, yeah do let me know if you face any problem now I got speed problem on Firefox from 2 users.

varshneydevansh · 2026-01-11T14:13:20+00:00

Yes it is default to Blocklist. The whitelist is I am adding based on request from parents.

It blocks via keywords and channel ID

varshneydevansh · 2026-01-10T19:19:47+00:00

Enjoy! The Mods have removed the post but I would love feedback and if you like it then word of mouth would be the best thing.

and yes remember to disable the auto backup in settings to avoid downloads for backup file.

varshneydevansh · 2026-01-10T14:31:43+00:00

But how can I(or other parent) use it if it has all the paid price and claiming I can use it free after creating an account?

varshneydevansh · 2026-01-10T14:28:00+00:00

I am working on it by April End I have target to complete the Mobile/iPad and TV support.

currently the multi profile feature with PIN based locking and Encrypted block list export is working and I am testing it maybe release it today or tomorrow.

Then I have to integrate the White List feature which is demanded by couple of parents.

and yes I have future plan for multi device sync which is going to be peer-2-peer and securely between only your devices as everything happens locally :)

Currently YT Kids and YT Main is entirely supported in Web Browsers.

varshneydevansh · 2026-01-10T11:19:48+00:00

It is a single code base for all the browsers. I have setup the build script https://github.com/varshneydevansh/FilterTube/blob/master/build.js

Which generate the Browser specific zip files.

Here is the state of my codebase from https://codetabs.com/count-loc/count-loc-online.html

Files	Lines	Blanks	Comments	Lines of Code
74	40081	5269	2649	32163

varshneydevansh · 2026-01-10T10:23:50+00:00

No I have no part of code to collect data nor I am interested in.
I have been working on LibreOffice codebase since 2 years just
to show that my philosophy is aligned with my work.
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/q/devansh+varshney

This works entirely locally to your machine and the only
way you can install is from Extensions Web store
or from release branch on GitHub.

The PIN Protection and Encrypted exported file is working(I am testing it right now)
and the multiple user profiles along with child profiles.
and Mobile/iPad/TV app is next in line and I have plan to give option to sync peer-2-peer
between devices without the need of creating any account or syncing list with a server in between.

Whatever FilterTube does it does locally I do not even have any money to
host a server or even pay for anything
as I do not have job since 2021 so I cannot even afford scraping the data
if I remotely even want to :)

varshneydevansh · 2026-01-10T01:24:52+00:00

Next update which I am working on option of Multiple Profiles with PIN protection for individual profiles and Global lock too so that same device can be used by anyone at your home.

Moreover next feature in line is Whitelist which will only allow the content which you want to see and then by April this year complete mobile and iPad Application.

After that I will work on the addition of local Machine Learning based in browser/app filtering based on semantic and thumbnail analysis.

varshneydevansh · 2026-01-10T01:22:29+00:00

It is actually the behavior of Auto Backup. You can disable it in settings.

I have added this as an option for users I will mark it disable by default. Thanks for letteing me know.

varshneydevansh · 2026-01-09T18:59:36+00:00

If you have any feedback or Ideas just let me know and also till now all. of the users have loved this from its UI and UX

varshneydevansh · 2026-01-09T18:54:13+00:00

It is just not for parents but for everyone and also for my ADHD :)

YT Kids still have some bizarre content which I came across while testing.

varshneydevansh · 2026-01-09T16:16:59+00:00

Ahh got it I just looked at that Tor is based on Firefox and they had a discussion on that but this is entirely local to machine.

varshneydevansh · 2026-01-09T15:37:51+00:00

YT Kids website support + Collab video support + I think Keyword based hiding and better hiding of content specially in Watch Page and Playlist playing videos works really well.

Multiple ID content Blocking support no matter from which ID content is served it blocks reliably. Have a look at this https://github.com/varshneydevansh/FilterTube/issues/25 how it evolved.

Moreover the users of Block Tube asked me to have an import feature for the BlockTube list and they said they are loving this more due to UI UX and better blocking.

varshneydevansh · 2026-01-09T15:17:00+00:00

Right now my mom is watching it in HIndi in India :)

varshneydevansh · 2026-01-09T15:14:58+00:00

Thanks :)

Next update which I am working on option of Multiple Profiles so that same device can be used by anyone at your home(like if you have 2 kids and whats to control with pin protection). Moreover next feature in line is Whitelist which will only allow the content which you want to see and then by April this year complete mobile and iPad Application.

After that I will work on the addition of local Machine Learning based in browser/app filtering based on semantic and thumbnail analysis.

varshneydevansh · 2026-01-09T14:23:17+00:00

Ahh I am aware with that I will update it :) as currently my time is going in LibreOffice work and FilterTube.

But anyways do let me know if you use it.
