The experience is so smooth. I can set preview duration myself.

But the problem is—No subtitles preferences, no video organizer.

Channel organization and deleting is already out there. But video organizer, playlists & subtitles will make it better.

I think you added ads-blocker too. Right?

thanks! I will work on some of these improvements later, planning on open sourcing everything as well so others can contribute.

I'm using YouTube's official iframe embed to stay compliant with their ToS, so ad serving is entirely on their side and I don't control it.

I got it. I thought you were using some kind of proxy or something. But it's completely client side I guess. That's nice.

You can try Tauri/Electron to build a cross platform app. The app will be a browser instance that renders the website and can remove ads, cookies and other headers easily & legally as technically it's not a website.

Btw. Don't you have GitHub or X?

thanks for the tips – you can find me at @renatoworks
