UPDATE

Now introducing a new feature: the video description as well as the comments written by YT viewers will be shown in the terminal window, while the video is reproduced.

Thus, the user can be satisfied reading other viewers having a swing at the politicians/celebrities/stars they love to hate, or, watch closely to their heart’s content, as cyber nuclear attacks are launched between self-righteous, valiant and livid keyboard fighters.

Comment loading is asynchronous to video loading, so it is possible that there will be some delay in the appearence of the comments. That depends on the number of comments, network speed etc.

      The screenshots look really nice. I’ve personally always struggled with designing nice TUIs, so I really appreciate the way this looks.

      I’d recommend trying out shellcheck and potentially building it into your repo as a CI check. I’ve written a ton of Bash over the years, and I’ve found shellcheck to be absolutely essential for any script over ~100 lines. It’s not perfect, but it does do a great job of helping you avoid many of the foot guns present in Bash. I also dearly love this site. It’s a fantastic reference, and I look at it almost every day.

      I may take some time later today and provide a bit of specific feedback.
