I like the thought behind this. I've considered something similar for yt-dlp. Thanks for putting it out there and keep it up!

I use tartube already.
User friendly LOL!
If you encounter any issues or bugs, let me know so I can fix them!
You shoulda lead with that. I love the humor. Can't stop laughing,
The entire project is a bug LOL!
Where to start?
- There is no packaging at all
Start with a pyproject.toml and work from there.
- no tests
Everything is a bug until it's got test coverage.
- screenshots
In the .github folder?! That's gotta be a 1st
- no dev environment
Expecting pre-commit as well as isort, flask, black, and mypy
- print statements galore
Looked into requirements.txt expecting to find a console UI framework. There is none!
A pattern has emerged that many Python coders have spent not enough to no time learning packaging, dev toolchain, and CI/CD publishing. When asking folks to test your work they'll be expecting a published package, not a series of amateurish scripts and a bash install script.
Should write an advertisement
Please someone skilled at console UI and packaging please please please help in a paid position.
Can confidently say, you need help.
Not writing more features the OP is good at that. Just packaging and swapping out the prehistoric console UI with a modern console UI framework.
Dunking on noobs is not cool.
You yourself are a victim
Having good intentions you tried and found out the hard way that in fact packaging does matter.
You were tricked.
I looked at it, recognized the flaming turd being thrown at the proverbial wall, and dodged.
That is our job when doing code reviews and offering advice. Be kind up to the point where being honest is unavoidable.
A series of scripts does not make a package. Have to put our collective foot down; follow Nancy Reagon's advice, Just say no!
This project cannot be helped. It needs a complete rewrite.
Having minimal expectations is not being mean to noobs. Not getting anywhere in the ballpark of minimal expectations is being mean to potential users ...
I tried to run it but it wouldn't on the version of python I have.
If you could bring yourself to use if .. elif .. etc instead of match then it could run it on much older versions of python.
but then they wouldnβt be using match
Using match is virtue signaling that have no intention of creating a working package.
What's next on the list of crap could all live without?
-
colorama
-
six
-
pyyaml
Why? It's not a package? There are no tests or anything else. It's held together with duct tape, hope, and good intentions. So of course it'll not work as intended.
What version of Python were you using?
3.9
I'm testing different Python versions to see what the minimum is for yt-dlp-adv is. I know 3.10 is when they added match-case, so 3.9 isn't supported. Will update README with minimum working version after I'm done testing.
