Hey all,
I was looking for a Youtube downloader to self-host, and when I found one that looked really great, it was no longer functional. So, I vibe-coded a new one.
Hermes is a front end app and a REST API for yt-dlp.
This is fully functional but I just got it on Github so give me a few days to publish images. But, feel free to clone it down now and build it yourself!
And why not just use yt-dlp Web UI?
Goddamn I’ve been looking (not too hard) for a terrible yt-dlp UI and not finding one for a while! This is exactly whay I needed. I recently setup Pinchflat and was thinking abour shoehorning downloading from random sources in it. This should solve it.
lol the readme reads “a not so terrible” but the repo description reads like
I saw that one and cobalt.tools. I liked cobalt better, but cobalt is currently broken. Honestly, I mostly just wanted a different style UI.
I only used Ytdlp-interface and that works pretty well.
