Coding a YouTube Descriptions Updater [ Part 1 ]

Batch process your YouTube Video Descriptions to update social links or insert any information across all your videos. There is not a good (free) tool out there to automate this process for creators so I decided to make my own. In this video I converted my website into node js, figured out YouTube authentication, programmed the YouTube video search functions, and made some dynamic tables on the front end to show the results of the videos. Unfortunately I could not finish the project in this video since I had already been coding for 2 weeks. Major problems that I have to fix include: storing API credentials securely for multiple users, programming the string replacement functions (descriptions), and storing every description in a recovery file structure in case of catastrophic events. I still have a lot to do.

I'm not even sponsored by Digital Ocean but I just spent the past week setting up my site on their platform and its the coolest thing I have seen in a while. This way I can write any cloud computing program on my website for my subscribers to use, while Digital Ocean manages all the infrastructure :))
