I created a web application as an easy way to use yt-dlp! (github.com)

I spent a decent amount of time making a nice web application to wrap up the functionalities of yt-dlp, makes it really easy to follow content through Jellyfin!

Have a look if you have the chance, I think people could make good use of it: https://github.com/MattMckenzy/ToothPick

It would be cool to see a screenshot or two, since it's basically a webUI! Thanks for sharing, anyway!

I've just added images and more descriptions about each page of the web application in the GitHub readme. It should provide a nice overview now!

Very very cool! Good job!

I always find it annoying when an open source project doesn't have any screenshots in the readme or on their website.

Looks very cool. Suggestion: add a feature for bookmarklets.

I did this with https://github.com/fmstrat/youtube-dl-api and it works nicely. You just have a bookmark on your toolbar, and if you want to send the current page/url to yt-dlp, you just click it.

That's a great suggestion!

ToothPick was more built for a set it and forget it style of yt-dlp usage, but I've definitely had to add ad-hoc pages like this before so this would be a great feature to have.

Is there a public deployment of it?
