ardatube

an opinionated wrapper for YouTube, curing what I see as the main pain points:

• the stinking video isn't FULL WIDTH. c'mon youtube, why do you have such large padding?!?!
• there are no keyboard controls for video quality or playback speed
• comments, descriptions, and other features are often distracting
• the related videos have no quality indication (several browser extensions exist to solve this)

license

copyright me, please don't take my work and become a millionaire, that would make me bitter.

status
