Question 1

What exactly is Youboxd?

Accepted Answer

Youboxd is a place to rate, review, organize and share YouTube videos. The goal is not just to stack links, but to keep track of what you watch and discover better videos through other people's taste.

Question 2

Why build a 'Letterboxd for YouTube'?

Accepted Answer

Because YouTube is huge, yet there was barely any serious place built for writing real reviews, revisiting your own history, or circulating great discoveries outside the algorithm.

Question 3

Is a mobile app planned?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Right now Youboxd is available on the web, but a dedicated app is already in development and should arrive soon.

Question 4

Does Youboxd replace YouTube?

Accepted Answer

No. YouTube is still where you watch videos. Youboxd is where you rate them, review them, save them into lists, follow people, and make better decisions about what to watch next.

Question 5

How do I post a review?

Accepted Answer

You click New review, paste a YouTube link, let the site fetch the useful metadata, then add a rating, a review, categories and publish.

Question 6

Can I just rate something without writing an essay?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can leave a simple rating, one short line, or a proper review. The site stays lightweight when you just want to log something, and richer when you want to say more.

Question 7

Why are some videos not accepted?

Accepted Answer

To keep a minimum quality bar, the video must have at least 500 views, the channel must have more than 50 subscribers, and it cannot be a Shorts format. The idea is to avoid noise, spam and weak links.

Question 8

How many reviews can I post?

Accepted Answer

Free accounts can post up to 5 reviews per day. Premium removes that daily limit and also increases the maximum review length.

Question 9

Why are French and English feeds separated?

Accepted Answer

Because a feed full of reviews in a language you do not read quickly becomes useless. Youboxd tries to keep the experience readable for everyone, while still letting you open things up when you want to.

Question 10

Can I enable both French and English at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can show only French, only English, or both in the feed. If both are active, the same review only appears once.

Question 11

Can I change the site language?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can switch between French and English in settings, and the site keeps that choice for your experience.

Question 12

When are more languages coming?

Accepted Answer

Soon. French and English are the launch base, but more languages will follow. If you want to push a language higher in priority, the best move is to use the idea box or contact us directly.

Question 13

What are lists for?

Accepted Answer

They help you group several reviews around a theme, a mood, or a specific use case. For example: videos to start before bed, best Formula 1 races, or top 10 videos to learn Python.

Question 14

How do I add a review to a list?

Accepted Answer

From the ... menu on any review. You can add it to an existing list, or create a new one right from the same modal.

Question 15

What are the current list limits?

Accepted Answer

On free, you can create up to 3 lists with 5 reviews in each. On Premium, you can create as many lists as you want and go up to 100 reviews per list.

Question 16

Can other people edit my lists?

Accepted Answer

No. Only you can edit your own lists. Other users can only browse them, save them or share them if those lists are visible to them.

Question 17

What are points, titles and badges actually for?

Accepted Answer

They give your activity some shape. The more you post, the more you progress, and the more your profile tells a story. It is not just decoration: it also helps identify members who are genuinely active.

Question 18

Why go Premium if the site stays free?

Accepted Answer

Premium is not there to lock the experience. It is mainly a more comfortable version if you use the site a lot: more room, more lists, longer reviews, more flexibility. It also helps the project keep growing properly.

Question 19

What happens if I hide or delete a review?

Accepted Answer

Hiding removes it from public view without wiping your whole organization. Deleting removes it for real. Depending on the case, it can also leave your visible profile or your lists.
