This seems powerful. What would be interesting use cases? I can dl youtube with yt-dl, but this seems to do more.

Thanks. Yes, I use this every day in different situations. Lately I've been scraping a lot of different sites (ex. https://github.com/dongKenny/artveeScraper/issues/4 ) and using `lb du $site.db -D$depth` to view folder sizes at different depths and choosing what to download.

I also use it to sort through videos quickly. For example, to watch four videos at once:

    lb wt --loop --cmd130 exit_multiple_playback --cmd5 'lb process-audio' --cmd6 'mv {} /mnt/d/library/vr/' -u size desc -m 4

Any other cookbook-like recipes?

Most of the commands have pretty detailed examples when you run `-h`

But from your feedback I will also add how I use it to the bottom of what already exists!

Disregard. Reading README.

You actually can use it to do that (as a lightweight Git Annex) but if everything is local then you are probably better off using `find` or `locate`

You can also track open directories:

    lb webadd debian.db https://ftp.debian.org/debian/
edit: hmmm this specific site causes the script to essentially loop forever (it keeps adding more and more '/' at the end). weird! I'll fix that
