Notion sync does not format YouTube-annotated timestamp links correctly

Open worldofgeese opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

If reporting a bug:

  1. Can you describe the problem and bug in more detail? YouTube annotations contain a timestamp that functions as a link. Using Memex's Readwise integration one can sync YouTube annotations to Notion. However, these linked timestamps do not display correctly in Notion. Here's a real world example: Note: [1:52](https://youtu.be/BUlrbSxpRTs?t=112) “Everything is a comment”. Aren’t we rolling out skipping comments by default soon?

  2. How can we replicate the issue?

  • Create YouTube annotation
  • Set up Readwise sync in settings
  • In Notion, navigate to created page for your annotated YouTube video
  1. Expected behavior (i.e. solution) Timestamps should act as correctly formatted clickable links to their YouTube video position

Could you add screenshots of the behaviour? eg. what the link looks like in notion and what happens on your screen after you click it (if anything)?

It's hard to understand what the problem you are experiencing exactly as the heading suggests problems with formatting, but, "Timestamps should act as correctly formatted clickable links to their YouTube video position" suggests that links don't jump to a time position (but may actually be formatted as links, ie blue with an underline)
