Last week I posted TubeDL, a native macOS video downloader. Got some interest, so I'm open-sourcing the CLI it's built on.It's a Python wrapper around yt-dlp with a cleaner interface:- Single videos, playlists, Shorts - MP4/MP3 output with FFmpeg - Cookie auth for age-restricted/private videos - Thumbnail extraction - Rich terminal UIInstall: pip install -e . (or clone and run)The macOS app adds a native GUI on top, but the CLI works standalone on macOS/Linux/Windows.GitHub: https://github.com/RichardTrujilloTorres/tubedlLooking for feedback on the CLI design and what features would be most useful. PRs welcome.
