To be honest, I really loved the work done by developers for https://github.com/webosbrew/youtube-webos.
This is purely a fun, side project. At work, we've been using some legacy tools - I wanted a real side project where I could experiment with new tools. This project gives me an opportunity to do just that!
All inspiration came from https://github.com/webosbrew/youtube-webos 🙇
If this project goes well, I'll ask their maintainers to merge it one day 😄 although I think the chances are slim.
