This is too trivial to share, IMO.
Anyway, shell is more suitable for this kind of programs: you could write a bash script that ties together youtube-dl and dmenu or fzf or whatever within an hour.
- hnlmorg 7y agoI think this is probably their first CLI tool. Maybe even their first node project? So that's probably where the excitement comes from. And if that's the case then I can appreciate that. Personally I'd probably go a similar approach as yourself but that's purely because I don't have node installed.
- onion2k 7y agoThis is too trivial to share, IMO. How do you define complexity threshold for something being worth sharing? More to the point, why do you define that threshold? What benefit is there to saying someone's work that they're sharing has to be sufficiently complicated? Simple things can be immensely useful and well worth sharing.
- C4stor 7y agoWhy would there be a link between trivial and worth sharing? On the contrary, I find that a lot of tools I'm happy to have are the trivials one. Who have never used whoami for example ? It's two chained system calls, but I'm still glad it's baked in and I don't have to rewrite it everywhere I use it.
- synox 7y agoA bash script would be shorter for sure. I just could not find any that does the job. And those 50 line bash scripts tend to be hard to distribute and maintain IMHO.
- CaptainMarvel 7y agoI struggle to use youtube-dl due to the abundance of parameters, and this gave me the realisation that it is missing interactive mode! So, I'm quite grateful that this person shared their creation.
