That's pretty great, just tried it. I'd have a few feature requests:

- Make it possible to delete downloaded videos

- Show more than just a few weeks worth of videos per channel. For example, if I look at @AndrejKarpathy I only see his latest two videos.

- Have a way to view a video at a reasonable size in between the small preview and full screen

- Add a way to download a single video without subscribing to a channel

Thanks for making it a Docker image, it's super easy to get it working with Docker compose!

That works, it makes it possible to watch the video now. :-)

The only thing that had me stumped was that to add a subscription one needs to press enter, I don't recall if that was the behavior before.

Appreciate all the changes!
