Hey all,
I was looking for a Youtube downloader to self-host, and when I found one that looked really great, it was no longer functional. So, I vibe-coded a new one.
Hermes is a front end app and a REST API for yt-dlp.
This is fully functional but I just got it on Github so give me a few days to publish images. But, feel free to clone it down now and build it yourself!


“I love to enable oligarchs and fascists”
At least they admitted it. That said, I’ll never fuck with anything ‘vibe coded’, AI sucks.
It sucks but you wont try it and have no frame of reference. Give it a download. Try it out. Give me your honest opinion without this weird bias about how it was made.
That’s like asking the world’s best FPS gamers to “just try an aimbot”. Actual programmers do far better than a machine-learned bullshit printer.
we are giving you our honest opinion.
we don’t appreciate our hard work and efforts being stolen by companies and then slopped together by people who wouldn’t know the first thing about our community.
take your slop somewhere else because it’s not welcome here.
exhausting viewpoint. AI is powered by open source.
is this “AI” you speak of in the room with you right now? If you believe that machine-learned pattern recognition and word prediction algorithms are “AI”, you shouldn’t be left anywhere near a compiler or production code.
