How does it stack up against jdownloader?

I haven't done much market research, but I will check it out. I was focused on building it fast and getting it out there.

Are there any additional option in the ui aside from the youtube link such as downloading a specific portion of a video.

I was thinking of adding some github issues for features. Another one would be downloading the transcript file (which is easy to grab btw).

It was a challenge on X. A person was making a PAID desktop app and I said Ill make an open source one in a day. So I did. :shrug:

I firmly believe tools like yt-dlp should not be wrapped as PAID things. Tools like that should be free for all to use.
