## What it is
A self-hosted web application providing a Material Design frontend for youtube-dl, built with Angular and Node.js. It lets users download and manage videos and audio from YouTube and other sites through a browser interface, with Docker support.

## Use cases
- self-host a youtube downloader with a web ui
- download youtube videos and archive them on my server
- manage a personal media library of downloaded videos
- download audio from youtube as mp3
- web frontend for youtube-dl
- download twitch vods with chat

## When to choose
- you want a polished web UI on top of youtube-dl instead of the CLI
- you want a self-hosted, Docker-deployable downloader with a browsable media library
- you need multi-user downloading with subscriptions and audio/video options

## When to avoid
- you just need simple command-line downloads without a server
- you need a full-featured media server like Jellyfin or Plex rather than a downloader
- you require active support for sites youtube-dl no longer handles

- function: web-framework, http-server, file-upload, ui-components
- domain: media, self-hosted, web-development
