TubeSafe
Your YouTube content safety net.
The section of YouTube users who are at risk of deletion don't even realise it. I don't have the time or resources to educate those people.
I've learnt to choose projects with an existing proven customer base. My next project has just that, stay tuned.
TubeSafe was submitted to ProductHunt today! It's been a week or so since I launched the MVP and I've since made some changes based on feedback from YouTubers.

After around 6 weeks of working evenings and weekends, the MVP for TubeSafe is online!
Originally, I started building with the aim of hosting the backups on cloud providers such as DropBox, Mega, etc, however, I quickly found integrating would add limitations and complexity. I've opted to store all data in AWS for the time being. I used Python, Postgres, RabbitMQ and Redis for the initial build.
I'm excited to start showing it to some YouTube content creators. Any ideas on how best to reach out to some?

A lot of creators have there email address on there profile. I'd start there. I wouldn't try to push a sales pitch on them, they get sold to all day long. Ask questions and start a conversation that ties into your service but isn't a sales pitch. That's my advice.
Other thought, once you scale this more I'd setup an affiliate program and offer to sponsor videos for creators. Youll have explosive growth hopefully at that point. At that point I'd zero in on creators teaching people how to become creators themselves.

Seems like a useful tool. Are there any competitors in the market?

Plenty of downloading tools, none I could find which offer backup straight to cloud and none which do this automatically for you on a schedule.

I just read that and as surprised you got a dot org.. those aren't usually for businesses. Makes sense now.

Congrats, this is a very cool milestone 🙌
How did you decide to build this?
If YouTube delists you, does it cut off access to all your videos as well? You can't even download them (as the author) yourself? That's nuts.

Yes that can and does happen. Sometimes they delete your entire Google account at the same time, which makes no sense to me.
I built it as I saw posts online with people complaining and freaking out when this happened. Although I'm not yet sure if those same people would invest in this kind of insurance policy.
