Hi everyone - here's a Dexter app we made that can be configured to feature the YouTube playlists and channels you choose. Initially we built one that was pre-configured with all the late shows, but saw how it could really be used for any content that features interviews, monologs, MOS, etc. If you remix the app, there are private variables in the settings where you can provide your own artwork and file paths. Looking forward to hearing your feedback!

Indeed. You also aren't limited to what is offered to you, as you are free to build your own and deploy to use and share with the community at large.

Put plainly, this is a platform that allows you to connect web services. So yes, it is a linking tool for third party APIs. But there's a lot more than that here. The differentiator is in how that manifests itself. So with something like IFTTT, you're given the option to connect X to Y, with finite versions of X and Y to connect. So while it fits a number of use cases, there's a lot that's left to be desired. Dexter gives you the ability to connect X to Y, but since you can deploy your own code, the developer / user and the API endpoints they are using are what effectively limits the number of permutations. Additionally, you can connect far more than two endpoints, can switch based on expressions, can fetch from a data store, can wait for user input and more. Hope that helps!
