Design decisions

• The UI should match that of NewPipe, with GTK widgets. I am not a designer and I dont know how to make custom widgets, or make nice UI, so I just copy what works!

Road map:

For version 1.0 :

• Popular videos page.

• Cache for thumbnails.

• Video page, with description, where you could press to play video.

• Select quality of video.

• Popular videos page.

• Make downloads work with yt-dlp or so... or maybe make it myself?

• Search for videos and channels.

• Subscribe to channels.

• Subscription list page.

• "What's New", for videos from subscriptions, with a button for updating the list.
