• one of most important problem you solved is centralised bookmark, history. When i watched a clip in mobile, i want my desktop client to know and hide it from me
• considered continued trend of high ram price, nice to have light weight mem efficient desktop app without ts,electron,webview,java those mem eating monsters, if we utilize app like mpv, plus your clear be,fe architecture, it should not that hard and easy to maintain.
• nuc+debian+flex launcher+remote control are such sweet combo compared to android tv. Way better than other media center solutions especially in noise, energy,codec, capacity, flexibility, security stand point. But i haven’t found remote control+nuc friendly linux desktop YouTube clients. That’s why I said centralised bookmark is important. Remote control doesn’t have keyboard, if I can bookmark in mobile/desktop and loop through in nuc via bookmark, it will be sweet. Again, you don’t have to finish by your own.
• I have a few more on backup iff someone interested. tubearchivist,yt-dlp are sweet, but all solutions i seen are missing some piece

I do agree we should stay neutral, but you can not denied ai has impact on environment, water, energy consumption, carbon footprint, intellectual property training ethics, right? And those topics are hot on some people’s politics map, so every projects using ai will be involved. I am not saying that what is right or wrong. I am just stating my theory based on my observation. If you have survey for ai perception vs political spectrum,I will be enlightened to read. Lots of studies on how ai tried to alter people’s political view, but not much studies looked into why ppl like/hate ai and how their rationale aligning their original political spectrum. I mentioned politics only because you mentioned usa which is very divided right now and you want to know the reason

Most users’ political spectrum in lemmy are considered pretty left, they usually hate ai except it’s from China. Does it help?

Normally I would skip all yet another YouTube clients which provide no additional benefits than existed solutions, especially YouTube is always being a jerk and change their api/interface frequently and new projects never caught up. It’s good that you don’t reinvented the wheel by using existed extraction lib and split fe+be in design. How stable your library against YouTube’s change and how fast will they jailbreak it usually? Most competitors don’t consider ecosystem, does yours provide hooks, api for third party? I can tell you my usecase or problems i seen iff you are interested

The root cause is someone have too much money or power. I hope we have an efficient way to catch rich ppl skipping tax, I bet lots of them do. It will be good to shut off all shell company and offshore account, so rich ppl cannot hide.
