Hi HN!

I built Vidya AI (vidyaai.co) to solve a problem I personally faced: watching long YouTube educational videos and still having unanswered questions. With Vidya, you can load a video, ask your question, and get an instant, contextual answer — all within the browser.

Just pushed an update that now includes longer, more detailed answers with emoji-enhanced responses and further reading recommendations.

Would love your feedback on how to make it better! Happy to answer questions about the tech stack or implementation.
