A video becomes a small place to visit
I wanted a way to learn from a long video without turning it into another detached summary. The Tiny Exhibit treats each question as a small exhibit. You make a choice, inspect the source, and decide what is worth remembering.
Coverage stays visible
Before a visit begins, the extension maps the complete video timeline. Short videos receive a compact tour. Longer videos receive more exhibits. A three question Quick Visit samples the beginning, middle, and end instead of clustering around the opening.
Every answer returns to the source
After you choose an answer, the video moves to the exact cited moment. The transcript remains available with playable timestamps. The goal is not to replace the speaker. It is to help you look again with a better question.
Private by default
The current build makes no AI requests and uploads no transcript. Processing happens inside Chrome. A saved takeaway stays in local extension storage and can be edited or removed later.

Where it is now
Version 0.8.1 is being prepared for the Chrome Web Store. The remaining work focuses on reliability across a wider range of captioned videos, final accessibility checks, and store review materials.
