Amazing!
"Kubo’s trust-based approach is a smart pivot from algorithmic feeds—curation over surveillance is the right model for kids’ content. Reminds me of how centralized control (whether in apps or governments) backfires when people demand autonomy. Case in point: Iran’s protests show what happens when systems ignore user agency.

That's nice, keep building 🔥
How does the algorithm use WoT to know which videos to trust?
Will have a look with my wife
Looks good so far! Had trouble logging in with amber. Only worked by pasting the bunker URI from amber direclty.
Gonna check it out, now. 🖖🏾
Amazing! Your first impressions and feedback would be very valuable! Please let me know
"Kubo's trust-based approach is a smart pivot from algorithmic feeds—parents need more control in kids' digital spaces. (Also relevant: the Iranian protests show how centralized systems—whether platforms or regimes—fail when they ignore user agency. Worth reading if you're thinking about governance models.)

Does it have YouTube content?
Some yes.
We went back and forth on the content kickstart problem.
In an ideal future all video content is hosted on blossom servers.
But for now I set a default followpack to populate the feed. This followpack contain a few handpicked youtube channels converted to keypairs with kind 21/22 events publishing YT URLs
Needs a better solution for sure.
Why do you ask?
I think solving this as a moderation on YouTube is more attractive to parents than some new app without much content. Kids like YouTube and want to watch it but it’s a pain in the ass for parents to moderate.
But this app I’m describing is next to impossible to build. YouTube will fight it. They don’t give a shit about kids.
Totally agree with you.
We do however want to use keypairs for identities for our moderation method.
What do you think the UX should look like?
These's a media uploader included now, but we're hesitant to the YT>Nostr conversion bridge...
Can you describe what it would look like from the user/parents perspective?
One of the main features I would like to explore is how we as a group of parents can curate / moderate content which we can approve to be watch by our kids.
At this moment, I'm curating all the stuff manually for my kids and it's indeed a very big pain in the ass to do this within the YT kids app.
From my point of view I want to be able to selectively permit specify channels OR specific videos. Nothing else gets through. But this is really hard to accomplish because Google hates it when you try to suppress their UI/UX
This is exactly what I do now within YouTube Kids so my kids have a very limited amount of content in the app (so they get bored quite easily and just leave the phone alone).
YouTube kids sucks and doesn’t have any content. My kids get bored of it.
My current solution to this problem is no YouTube at all 🤣
That's a + I guess =)
But where is the good content if it isn't there?
Lots of good content on YouTube - all the science and nature channels and kids specific ones but if you don’t monitor it can quickly veer into brainrot or worse.:: some really terrible stuff on YouTube
So manually curating content could be a solution right?
You have read my article Why YouTube Kids is broken right? I wrote this a while back with my own concerns and struggles
I can produce a keypair for 'all' YT channel, and publish 'every' video as a kind 21/22 eventswith YT url. incl metadata. That will give us a database to select, permit, rate, trust, etc. Downside would be YT embedded players in the feed. which can be partially disabled.
No idea what YouTube/YouTube kids allows you to do with parental controls..surely all they need to do is gave some sort of function where are parent curates videos and or channels. Nothing outside of this curation ever comes up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's part control features, part data profiling, but mostly the discovery algorithm that recommends versions of Spongebob that disturb even me
There should at the very least be a way to opt out of a discovery algo. Or it should be only seen by a parent control panel which can add to the curated list or something
YouTube Kids thinks some episodes of “dora the adult” and some old YTPs are kid worthy stuff…
Many YouTube channels are mirrored to Odysee, which is open, decentralized and all that good stuff. Wouldn’t it make sense to integrate with that in addition to/instead of youtube and maybe reupload the missing videos there (?)
The embedded video is the issue. It recommends crap.
Hey
