   Thank you! MBSR is typically done in a group so to loop in some social aspect would be a solid feature but nothing planned atm, thanks for the feedback.

   Hey no problem! Every feature on this site is usable without registration and registration doesn't require an email let alone a confirmed email. It's just user friendly design, I agree, thanks for the input!

   Thanks for the input. Yep your mom would definitely be a target user but even for myself the app has been very useful, when you know you have a nice GUI to play with it reduces the cost of doing certain fun projects that require quick downl

   Even being someone who uses the CLI, now that I have this app I will probably rarely use the CLI, it's just nicer to see things visually as to be able to reason about them. Also selecting the directory etc is something way more easily

   Actually I hate doing frontends way prefer to work with serverside code than play with the DOM, but I recognize that a good frontend is super important to the app to allow people to reason about how it works and to help them through the pr

    Electron is a small Chromium browser that can interact with Node.JS, youtube-dl is packaged with this app as a node package manager dependency. The youtube-dl binary is downloaded and then called via a child process, let me know if that cle

    I'm going to add functionality that makes it such that the latest version of youtube-dl is always installed, so as long as youtube-dl works the app should work too.

    At the moment no but it does handle downloading playlists/channels correctly.

    Yup I plan to add installers for each platform, I just finished this yesterday and wanted to share it with people so I fired it off. Happy to work through the errors you ran into if you want to open an issue on GH but yes, installers will b

    I plan to make an 'advanced' mode that will allow people to pass custom flags, select file formats etc, especially given the large initial interest. Right now this was mostly a proof of concept and targeted towards nonsophisticate

    Frankly I wouldn't mind making a browser extension that does exactly that, and then if you go back to a video you've already downloaded before it plays it from disk as opposed to from the network. Something I've thought about

    I agree, YouTube-Dl already has 50k stars on Github, it's certainly not obscure anymore. Although I'm not suggesting breaking the TOS if people are going to be using it to archive content then the best bet is probably to have the

    I plan to package platform specific FFMpeg with the app especially now given the large initial interest. Then once I package everything for the different platforms via Electron it should be as easy as installing any other application an end

    Even though people have downvoted you, personally I agree with you, I haven't added any semicolons to main.js though because that file was automatically created in the original project I forked, if I ever have to edit it I will add the

    Agreed! But sometimes going to the CLI everytime is annoying which is in part why I wanted to build a GUI for it :)

    I tried to install it but I couldn't install WxPython3 via SourceForge so I couldn't get the deps to work. Plus the maintainer of that app doesn't care much for supporting OS X and Linux (basically tells people to just go use
