Very cool. It's awesome we finally have an independent YouTube player app which, unlike existing players (we could always use MPV and others), also has searching and specific video related recommendations. But there is a room for improvement. E.g. its history appears forgetting a video's pause position as soon as I start watching another one. A handier speed change (wheel-scrollable perhaps, e.g. the YouTube Enhancer browser extension has it) is a necessity - I increase and decrease speed very often depending on how well and easy do I understand a particular part so using a pop-up menu annoys. The same about sharing - I want a single-click to copy the URL to the clipboard, not a multi-share pop-up menu. An option to pre-download full videos (in a per-video preferred format, together with the subtitles) then play from the file, then let me purge/prune this cache manually would be great (I usually prefer the "18" 360p MP4 format, 240p if that's a podcast with no interesting visual content, 720-1024p if its a coding lecture where I need to read what's on the screen, higher in some rare cases when there's something beautiful, all available subtitles and chapters should better be embedded in the file). Blocking ads should indeed be configurable. To be honest, I personally can hardly imagine myself enabling ads (I rather donate when I really like someone, and that's much more than YouTube itself would pay them for my view), nevertheless just killing all ads for everyone without even an option to change this manually somehow feels wrong. And probably begging for trouble of Google and/or other corporations attacking the project. If I were the developer I would rather enable ads by default and let the users configure blocking the way they see fit. I would consider adding these features myself as this fortunately is a free project on GitHub but Electron means that would require me to learn web frontend which is so complicated[1] it's not really my thing.
