I wanted to create a Bob Ross video hub and randomizer, in which users can (eventually) access all 31 seasons of the show, make custom playlists with their favorite episodes, and be able to press a "Random" button that will cue a random episode of the show each time it's pressed. Eventually I'd like to communicate directly with the Youtube API to acquire the episodes and embed them into my app, but form now I'm using the Youtube Embed iFrame functionality to populate the videos.
I came up with the idea through my love of Bob Ross's show, The Joy of Painting. I wanted to create something that would cut out the process of navigating Youtube to track down episodes of the show, and would be solely dedicated to presenting the show with an easy-to-use site. The main motivation for this was honestly my own personal use for it, as I watch The Joy of Painting on a daily basis, oftentimes in order to help me go to sleep.
I've spoken with many people about their love of the show, but I've been surprised to learn that most people are unaware the show is available to watch in its entirety for free on Youtube. So I decided for the sake of both myself and others I'd create a simple application that cuts out the clutter and distractions of Youtube and only focuses on the show.
