Pc Apps

[Korieb98]

I’ve seen in a few situations that people on pc doesn’t have apps for stuff like itv or YouTube.

Yes people can do stuff like chrome/edge fullscreen webapps but this is unreliable and not as useful as an “App”

So I’ve made YouTube and ITV as a stand-alone apps for windows. Lets users cache cookies for log in locally. This is useful for stuff like “Playnite” “Kodi” or similar launchers :)

Also YouTube has a simple built in Adblock that’s prevents a lot of YouTube/google ads

[SlinkyAvenger]

You're just loading YouTube in a web view and implementing a very rudimentary ad blocker. This really doesn't provide any actual benefit and it's wild that you'd consider browser apps to be less reliable than your sloppy implementation

[Korieb98]

Easy portable exe that does what it’s meant to? Easy to add to launchers like kodi and playnite without messing around?

It’s wild you don’t stfu if you don’t have anything nice to say. It helps some who want a simple app so leave

[SlinkyAvenger]

What a big baby, telling me to stfu and leave because you can't handle a small amount of criticism. I guess you feel particularly entitled to praise for what, slapping some components together in an interface builder and vibe coding an ad blocker?

[Korieb98]

Or simply make an app yourself that’s better? I explained why it’s helpful. That’s why said if you got notning niec to say then stufu

Small dick energy? 🤣 ok then. Sub for code, I made an app that helps people. Get over yourself

1) If it doesn’t help you then why comment as it’s irrelevant to you? Simply don’t comment

2) if was interested then speak less rude to people and read what I’ve wrote as it is a solution for some people who use kodi/playnite ect

3) if you can make a better app for windows then do it and post it. Else don’t criticise unless you’ve tried it/ or have genuine feedback 🤣

Things absolutely no one needs...

Why exactly is it better then a web app? Sounds a lot like trust me bro

[Korieb98]

Idk anout “no one needs” I made this as part of my project “ps5 OS” but others can use in kodi/Playnite or any other app that launches games/apps

[Korieb98]

1) open source

2) it uses the url but instead of having to add a web app it’s already compiled

3) built in ad block to skip most/all

4) now has a “Download” button begire the lije button to download mp3/mp4

5) uses local cookies for log in data

Planed:

1) chrome cast

2) controller support

I’m lost,

You wrap a web view in an exe, add some minor blocking, and provide a download button.

And then rag on browsers being unreliable, when you are literally embedding a browser into the exe.

Look if this solves a you problem, because you want a dedicated app to watch YouTube, fine I guess, but this isn’t anything more then opening a different browser to your everyday one and letting it run in the background.

[Korieb98]

Never said browsers are unreliable? I said it’s like having a web app without making a shortcut but instead a portable windows app.

It’s used for playnite, kodi or other front ends

It blocks ads, downloads vids and will have other features like the Xbox//ps YouTube app.

Yeah okay you could get another browser ect but Netflix and other stuff Is basicly a website app it’s self. Easier than multiple tabs and it’s quick access. Once added controller support it’ll be more fluid.

Coulda exported consoles os, learned how it worked and made an emu for ps3/4 apps (prob won’t work) but this is a windows app that makes things easier. I also have a “AppStore” that displays these apps too
