Roadmap
Easy to build, and YouTube could too.
Some of Villow isn't finished yet, and some of it can only fully exist inside YouTube. It's all here anyway, with honest labels, because it shows how simple these improvements would be.
Coming soon
Planned or partly built. Not available yet.
SocialComing soon
Watch together
Watch videos together with friends. The app already has a spot waiting for it.
ExtensionComing soon
Safari, iPhone and iPad
The extension on Safari, including iPhone and iPad. This is future work.
Showcases
Things only a platform can fully deliver. Villow shows how they could work, and YouTube could build them.
Real lifeShowcase
Creator calls to action
A creator attaches one focused, real-world next step to a video, shown right beside it. The real thing needs YouTube Studio, so Villow shows an example of how it could work.
InformationShowcase
Community notes beside videos, and a notification when a video you watched gets one
Notes beside misleading videos, shown once people with different viewpoints agree they help. Anyone who already watched is notified, and the notification stays until they've read the note. Not built into Villow, because it needs a platform's community.
Exploring
Early ideas. They may change, or never ship.
AIExploring
Topic guidance, chapter generation, comment AI and "Talk with AI"
Early ideas that appear in the app as labelled placeholders. They may change, or be removed if they don't support a healthy experience.
Getting VillowExploring
Creator submission portal
A place where creators could submit a real-world next step for their videos, for Villows to show.
Getting VillowExploring
Global recommendations
A shared recommendation service that independent Villows could draw on.
Imagine if YouTube built these in.
Every item on this page is something a platform could offer everyone. That's what Fix the Web is asking for.
