Yeah simply put. The main thing I've focused on are precisely selecting output settings based on source quality, organizing downloads by channel and playlist automatically, keeping a searchable library, in-app player, and maintaining dependencies so others don't have to. The tools under the hood are great. I wanted to make the workflow easier to use and just get the best option without thinking about it.
