Hi HN, I've been using yt-dlp and ffmpeg extensively for a while now, but I've always fiddled with terminal commands or used clunky online tools that aren't always reliable. While there are plenty of downloaders and converters on the market, I wanted to make something myself, just for fun. I wanted a dedicated, locally focused interface that combined downloading, conversion, and compression in one place. I initially experimented with C++ and Python, but ultimately chose Tauri. This allowed me to create a modern user interface while maintaining a lightweight application and high-performance backend. Key Features: Everything happens on your computer. No external servers. From downloading video via yt-dlp to compressing or converting it to popular formats. It runs natively on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Thanks to Tauri, the app doesn't use as much RAM as Electron-based alternatives. Why am I sharing this? I'm looking for feedback from the community, both praising and criticizing. The converter and compressor are currently in their early stages of development, so they don't have many advanced options and may have bugs that will be fixed over time. I'll be available here occasionally to answer any questions about my application.

I always like to see screenshots of the app on the website/github page if possible. Not sure about anyone else.
