This is so great! Could you tell us a bit about how it works behind the scenes?

- madamelic 9y agoYeah, it uses the YouTube API to search for videos. I am using another service to re-size the images to the right size (it still isn't perfect as you may notice), because some banners are slightly different sizes. Then, on the /watch page, I embedded the YouTube player with a responsive design so you can view on both mobile + desktop (before, the player was HUGE on mobile) It is quite simple thankfully.
- jasonkostempski 9y agoThe responsive design is great. I've been wishing that would become a standard option on video sites for some time. Full screen is rarely what I want and Theater Mode doesn't cut it. One suggestion, a black background and, if possible, vertically centered video might make it feel a bit more polished when the window ratio doesn't match the video.
