My VA has been uploading my podcast episodes and YouTube videos for years, but every time she copied text from Notion or Google Docs to YouTube, all the links would disappear. Just plain text. No clickable links to resources or show notes.
I had a solution that worked for me (Apple Shortcuts + Stream Deck), but she's on PC and doesn't have any of those tools. So I decided to vibe code a simple web app to solve this once and for all.
The funny part? I built most of this from my phone while sitting in a cigar shop during a rain delay at a Yankees game.

In this video, I'll walk you through:
* The exact problem I was facing with YouTube descriptions
* How I used ChatGPT to iteratively build the solution
* The final web app that converts Notion/Google Docs links to YouTube-friendly format
* A live demo of the tool in action
This is a perfect example of why I like vibe coding for small utilities - sometimes you just need something that works, and you need it fast.
