Listing alternatives in readme

[StefanLobbenmeier]

I sometimes encounter other guis for youtube-dl or yt-dlp and it would be nice to crosslink to each other in the readme and maybe have a bit of a feature comparison. Also its nice to checkout their UIs for inspiration 😄

Here are alternatives I have encountered so far:

• https://github.com/KurtBestor/Hitomi-Downloader
• https://github.com/NickvisionApps/Parabolic (Windows / Linux only, macOS in progress)
• https://github.com/Unrud/video-downloader (Linux only?)
• https://github.com/Bluegrams/Vividl
• https://github.com/kannagi0303/yt-dlp-gui (windows only)
• https://github.com/jeanslack/Videomass (more focus on ffmpeg, less on yt-dlp)
• https://github.com/database64128/youtube-dl-wpf (windows only)
• https://github.com/sylviiu/ezytdl

There is no catching up to Hitomi-Downloader haha 😄

Star History

But for the others the race is one 😋

Star History

(not that it really matters, but it is good to see that we are all growing and fairly recent, I was actually suprised how many have popped up in the last few years)

I really enjoyed OVD, and Stefan's rewrite of it for v3 looks promising. I only really fetch YT videos and rarely videos from other platforms, so Hitomi has too many bells and whistles.

Looking forward to full release.

Also: duplicate name handling etc. (e.g. videos called "80s advertisements", there are many videos with the same name from different users. even adding logic to naming for timestamp would help)
