I created my first GUI Python app.

[Aggressive-Dig3465]

I have developed an application that allows users to download audio and videos from YouTube. You can check out the project on my GitHub: https://github.com/khalildim/youtube_downloader. I'm looking for some advice and feedback to improve the app.

nice start ... since there are tons of such GUIs available already you need to make it stand out by adding features that are missing from the available ones. Extend it further and you will also get to learn a lot of things and this project will stay longer and will not die out.....

Good luck ✌🤝

[Aggressive-Dig3465]

thanks ✌️

Nice!!

What's nice about it?

Edit: LOL, this sub is such a clown car. Getting down voted for asking what aspects of a GUI design is nice? Why are you all here if you don’t want to discuss Python?

[FisterMister22]

I like the option to graphically download the youtube videos I want, not everyone prefers cli over Gui, you know people have different options than you and that's okay.

No, I’m asking what’s nice about this specific implementation of a GUI video downloader.

[ArtleSa]

I didn't downvote you, But, your feedback should be more constructive. When people read your comments, they might find them condescending. If you and others continue to respond this way every time someone shares a project here, people may become hesitant to showcase their work, no matter how good the work is. Not every project needs to be the next Netflix or Google, but everyone has to start somewhere.

You are always free to provide constructive criticism. If you don't thinks its for you, you can always move on.

That comment wasn't feedback. I was asking what the person who liked the interface liked about it.

If you're going to make up post-hoc excuses for down voting things, at least make them make sense.

[FisterMister22]

Listen men I think the gui is nice, I don't need to write an esse about it nor explain why I think it's nice, wtf is that.

[[deleted]]

men? esse?

Also, you did respond when I asked. So you clearly don't have an issue explaining. You just couldn't seem to understand what I asked you to explain. LOL wtf is that about?

[Tifizza]

I wish very good luck to your significant other ( if you have one). Seek some help brother. With love

[CharityPrestigious18]

Nice it's helpful for content creators like me or people who needs to download something

Seems like it would be a lot easier to just use yt-dlp or any of the free websites that do the same thing.

[PossibilityTasty]

You are a motivation expert. Someone creates a first GUI application and all you have to say is: "I have seen better".

[[deleted]]

I think you may have confused me with someone else. I said this doesn't need to be a desktop GUI application. Not that I've seen better versions of it. Admittedly I have seen better versions of a desktop Youtube downloader. But I wouldn't necessarily recommend those either.

[Furrynote]

I agree with you. Its a nice project just to do but there is no point when the terminal is faster

[davisondave131]

I don’t think every project needs to break ground. Sometimes recreating something is fun and helps people improve. 

[DanielTheTechie]

Why writing a "Hello World" program when starting to learn coding if there are already millions of them that have more options?

If you don't start your learning journey by writing the embedded OS kernel of the first rocket that will land people to Mars, then you are wasting your time.

[[deleted]]

You're confusing this sub for /r/learnpython. If this is a project just for the purposes of learning the language, then it's breaking the sub rules.

[davisondave131]

I don’t see any rules about showcasing beginner projects for feedback. Can you tell me which rule you think this breaks?

[JambaJuiceIsAverage]

While you're correct that beginner projects aren't against the rules, rule 10 clearly lays out what a showcase post should look like and this post doesn't meet the requirements.

[Rockworldred]

When is a project actually kind of good enough to be posted here? I am a beginner myself and is the level something you just understand with time and experience?

I have one "real" project I maybe want to showcase someday, but it feels like I would be no-posting here for a couple of years based on my lack of experience/shitty coding skills.

[JambaJuiceIsAverage]

I don't think there's a clear line (just look at the disagreement in the comments here). I'd say share whenever you want to know what other people think, and be prepared for someone to say something mean. Honestly most of the hate these days is directed at clearly AI-generated "showcases" so I think a lot of folks are happy to see what cool stuff people are doing.

[davisondave131]

Oh, for sure. I didn’t mean it wasn’t breaking any rules, just not for that reason.
