[collab/coop?] Dear fellow developers of parallel projects (youtube.com, <video> . . .) #1881
-
Happy 2024! I'm an extension for YouTube since 2012, with ~550000 users [400KB of features +155KB for switches & 110KB UI] - This can be repetitive to maintain, as of YouTube changes. Several alternatives stopped along the way & i can't keep up every time either. In fact many relevant /demanded extensions & 'JS- & DOM-reverse-engineering' face the dilemma of not keeping up with updates and generations of users giving up. ( Potentially unnoticed in the modest user-counts while new users join.)
Inspiring examples:
TYSM, all the best to you & many smiles!

@ImprovedTube for example, I just found your old message: "working together efficiently maybe" but I don't know what this means, work together efficiently on what? |

...and btw, if you are interested in the (lean/minimal) "financial options/plans" (@adamlui), and:
(https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/releases/tag/v4.20) of course these are little of a plan in comparison with that i could hardly let down 550000 users or forget them, which makes it just hard / insane to see most volunteers do less efficient work for fewer users. ( So that's just the key fact here again. And if some people just understood that, that might be relevant enough already?) (and you might not always be able to convince yourself of pessimism) |

PS: at @Youtube-Refined @MarcGuiselin Did you think of your extension as a think-tank already? 😃; crowdsourcing user's settings. (since maybe they have set 10000 different rules, but some that happen to be identical for multiple % of them and thus should be given a short name and be interesting to x% of youtube users too. (i just happened to type this again:

hi there again! :) As 2025 approaches too, isn't it sad not continuing this topic? How to connect developers? Why don't we "de-dupe" parallel projects? When choosing efficiency you might build a bridge. (+when not requiring separation.)# #

hi! @MarcGuiselin nice to hear from you! Yet your extension is still unique/relevant, nobody filled the void yet. Yes, all mentioned projects could share a lot of code. "Every extension comes with its own maintenance burden" Not necessarily where they intersect. When YouTube updates some CSS class name, ID or function name, some developer might care first (or cared to use it themselves). So their scripts might jump from 50 users to 3000 users for once and never be updated again. - While realistically the developers for many users don't always care or just can't keep up. So if you sum up the whole, you might see 100 developers in the world all update that same class name manually within 1 …
