Ask HN: Any way to curate YouTube videos for children? 3 points by jdironman 7y ago ↗ HN What I mean by this, are there any apps where I can either whitelist creators / channels or individual videos? Is that possible?
[–] coolspot 7y ago ↗ At least on iOS the only option is "YouTube kids" application which allow you to restrict content to pre-approved by YouTube as kids-friendly.I believe YouTube Terms of Use prevent anyone from making third-party youtube app on iOS. Android is maybe another story because you can sideload. [–] jdironman 7y ago ↗ If I wanted to develop my own app for android (personal use) what would I need to learn? Java? HTML5? [–] coolspot 7y ago ↗ HTML5 via PhoneGap should be enough. [–] jdironman 7y ago ↗ Looks like here would be where I should start.https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4654878/how-to-play-yout...Now, I would just have to see if it is possible to only show certain videos or a range of channels.

[–] jdironman 7y ago ↗ Just wanted to update this to say that YouTube for kids has the functionality that I desired. I can only show approved content only when I want to! Thanks everyone.
