This plugin Fetch all the YouTube videos you have liked, search and sort them with multiple sort options, and add them to your daily note in Obsidian.
Reviewing is as important as consuming content. I often find it not really helpful to search for new things, while there are always more things to learn by re-watching good YouTube videos. I hope this plugin, with Obsidian's power to build a knowledge base, can help us achieve that.
Features are still at its early stages. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please feel free to open an issue or contact me at zzunebye@gmail.com.
