release date

[sakgoyal]

when are you guys releasing this.... i have been waiting for a while... it's just that i really need it.

quick question:
isnt this just going to open the youtube website in a desktop app?

[davidhu2000]

getting close now. Most of the prep work is done.

still need to set up deploy pipeline, add auto-updater.

If you clone this repo. run yarn run dist-all, and inside the dist folder has the actual application itself you can use.

We built the youtube site from scratch, didn't want to simply render a webview of the youtube site.

Out of curiosity – may i ask why?
Is linux build coming with first official release? ;)

[davidhu2000]

yeah linux will be included

It was more of a fun project for everyone involved. wouldn't be fun if we just render a webview.

Hello there :D! Have you any updates about the release date? Also, do you know if there's a Facebook Desktop App? I found the Messenger for Desktop here in GitHub and it is simply awesome!

Anyway, great work guys, hope to see the app released soon!

I hope this loads youtube faster than the browsers. It is laggy on my pc.

Do you guys have an ETA to release this?

yarn run dist-all

This isn't running on windows powershell, is is supposed to be run on a different OS?

Can I run an equivalent on Windows?

there is a more simple app https://github.com/eriknyk/youtb
it is not made by hand it is only a desktop wrapper for the original youtube web sources and works on windows, it already has the .exe of the app in the download section. Regards.
