Why DevTube?

DevTube contains the best 350+ tech talks from different sources – @eduardsi's personal favorites, github lists, YouTube most liked. You can say that DevTube is YouTube uncluttered + some secret gems reuploaded from InfoQ, Vimeo, and private video archives. The talks are updated and contributed regularly thanks to the community.

💎 Discover hidden gems – Watch videos that are not publicly available on YouTube (e.g. Chad Fowler's "Tiny").

🔖 Create lists – Watch later, bookmark, and keep track of watched videos.

💬 Discuss – Read, write, and reply to comments directly from DevTube.

❤️ Contribute – Get karma for video contributions. Your name will also be visible next to the video.
