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!
Sure, you’re providing some code for free. Obviously you don’t owe anyone anything. But conversely, nobody owes you their time or attention just because you wrote something.
If you want people to actually use your code, you probably need to take some responsibility. And listen to the criticisms others have shared here.
