Post idea's here

My idea I just had: Make a yt-dl'er on neocities (or other free hosting) that would work client-side. Actually I have no idea if this would work at all but I think it would be great. I am too lazy to use yt-dl in the terminal and this would be actually useful for pipo.

I can't even make hello world

If you are good at programming, why not make a simple game for Android store and get some money

I tried doing that and got banned after I tried uploading my first app lol

But also I'm not super passionate about this. I guess I should still try to cooperate with someone who can actually publish stuff

I have a yt-dl-er site ready with the old youtube-dl. I should adapt it to yt-dlp one day.

It could work as GUI frontend tool via localhost if a webserver is installed on the host. And yt-dlp of course.

No I wont publish it, I'm shy.

Linux, apache, php, I think I run the script as cgi (haven't touched it since a long time), little js on frontend. I don't think it even uses db, depending its not necessary.

I remember the request is done with XHTTP, not even fetchAPI. That runs the cgi script with the youtube-dl.

Now with yt-dlp, that needs NodeJS to solve various client side fuckery imposed by youtube. So it doesn't worth making the backend in php, but should be directly in JS. And ofc, fetch for "modern" solution.
