I mean…if there’s interest? Just let me figure out those last four nagging pains in the ass and I will put it up. The thing itself is pretty simple lego: frontend, nginx config, SQLite/FTS search service, index-builder scripts, BRouter integration, route-anchor logic.
Right now, I have a few irons in the fire, including a fork called SmartTube Local that is turning into a passion project.
That one is basically: “what if YouTube was local-first, self-hosted and yt-dlp-backed, with the local archive integrated directly into the app and automatically kept up to date…so if the internet died, your kids might not even notice?”
…I just did google maps…why not take on Youtube next, amirite?
