I should probably rewrite this

Open xcodian opened this issue 9 months ago • 1 comments

This tool is outdated and sort of messily written (I'm looking at you DownloadPage.tsx). I hate React! The backend works, but it can be hacky at times (partially due to all the features people have contributed) and could be improved. I'm thinking of rewriting this sometime in the near future, but right now I don't have much time on my hands due to exams, so it will have to wait.

I still need to review PRs like #44 but right now I don't have time to think about the implications of supporting every platform that youtube-dl supports, and whether everything would work.

The new stack I'm thinking of for this app would probably be Svelte and either Python FastAPI or something in Rust (which could potentially end up being faster).

Thoughts?
