Lazybug: https://lazybug.ai

Learn Chinese the lazy way, by watching TV. The selection of shows is pretty good due to hard-sub OCR. It's free and open source, with content served through a CDN and a minimal (optional) backend for auth and data syncing. All user data is stored locally in the browser. Not exactly released yet, but it's getting there. Browser extension is also in the works for videos not on Youtube (or not embeddable).

The main idea is gradually hide more and more words in the subtitles so as to minimize the amount of information you need for comprehension. Once you have completely empty subtitles and you can still understand, then viola, you're fluent!
