I'd rather relegate importing online videos to another software. Video Hub App should just use whatever is already on the computer (or external hard drive) ;)

#14Looks great, can you explain how it differs from say PLEX?

#15I created this software using Angular, Electron, FFmpeg, and angular2-virtual-scroll. All proceeds go to Against Malaria Foundation (GiveWell's top-rated charity). Currently not open source, but am trying to figure out how to set a license that encourages people to tinker with the code, but not to clone a copy and sell it.
Another way is giving it a 'non-commercial use only' stipulation, which might not be lawyer proof.
Any of this won't prevent people from trying to profit off of it though.
PS: Remember to have an CLA so you won't have any problems with selling it.

#20- The default black-on-dark-grey in the primary pane looks amateurish. Switching out the background color for something lighter (maybe a light beige?) would make a world of difference for first impressions.
- I'd appreciate if the screenshots adapted to my platform, so I could see what the app actually looks like on Windows. But I understand that it'd consume a lot of effort to re-take everything two extra times and keep them all up to date. The Windows/Mac/Linux image at the bottom at least ought to use a platform-appropriate screenshot for each segment.
