Repository for All Completed, Non-published Subtitles

The state of community captions has been messy ever since YouTube decided to stop supporting this feature (just 2 weeks after the 20th anniversary of the ADA no less), but one website that's picked up some of the slack is the underused, underrated captionfy.io

Similar to YouTube's caption editor, it's great for writing basic captions for YouTube videos, without the need for downloading each video, but it's also got better privacy than Amara's free version (you can create private/anonymous captions), playlists, channel pages, and you can upload or download captions for general viewing and posterity. It may not be perfect, but it's no slouch either. 

So besides using it as a straightforward caption editor, it's great for having a single place to view, store, and organize captions, because they are intrinsically linked to videos. This extends to Accursed Farms, of which every completed, non-published subtitle is available for viewing here:

(To make them look more like YouTube's subtitles, choose white as the color and a translucent background)

"Cool, cool..." (I'm currently translating Deamonica). Was amazed to find that subs from exactly a year ago are still not on Youtube. Oh well.

 
Also note, a couple of the subtitles on the forums appear as gibberish when opened. This is an encoding error. They probably use ANSI instead of UTF-8. On Captionfy, these same subtitles are encoded correctly and available for download.
