Working with out Chrome addon?

[Trufax]

Hi,

i really like the idea of stretto. Unfortunately the chrome extensions make it quite tricky to use for an normal user. Would there be an way to either add the add-on to the official stores, or get rid of the add-on altogether?

Hey Trufax,

I did this for scalability concerns. Basically if the youtube downloading happens on the server, then one user can easily blacklist the server. This way the youtube downloads can happen on the individual users machine.

Submitting the chrome extension is a risky move, since it goes against the Chrome web store and youtubes terms of service (and I'd prefer not to have my google account blacklisted).

One of the simpler moves to make installing easier is to package the website as an "app". Essentially an electron app that bakes the extension logic into it.

Would you be interested in helping out in this effort?
