Awesome! What inspired you to connect effective altruism with your project?
So is this meant to be an alternative to XBMC? I've tried some pieces of software that just sucked, any comparisons between this and similar software? :)
Cool! Peanut gallery suggestions: - 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-ta…
After I finished making the app, it ended up being very consuming making the promotional materials (website, screenshots, YouTube video, etc). I'm studying Machine Learning at the moment, so this project isn't the only one I'm juggling.
I'm also not thrilled about the color scheme, but I couldn't come up with anything I liked more. It's not a challenge to update the color scheme a bit, though it's hard without explicit spec from someone stellar with UI (as we have at work).
Thoughts on using YouTube-dl as an importer of videos to the local library? Otherwise, looks awesome! Take my money!
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) ;)

What about consuming metadata provided from things like youtube-dl, though? It can dump thumbnails and other info as JSON.
As for metadata - currently Video Hub App doesn't keep anything other than file size, time length, and resolution. One very-requested feature is to allow tags and that may be the first large addition to the app in the future.
But I'm unsure if I'd work on any automated import of metadata at this time.

Two problems with the AGPL. The first is that it doesn't really stop commercialization, it's perfectly possible to make a commercial service using open source components. The second is that I'm of the opinion that it may fail once tested in court, basically for the reasoning laid out here [0] (not sure if the author of that is a lawyer, I've seen lawyer's express that position before though).

That's patently not true. One does not have "posession" by merely having access to the binary or source. One must first agree (implicitly, or explicitly) before they can acquire the software, such as agreeing to the licence when downloading.
Therefore, as soon as you have the right to use the software, the licence applies (as the licence is what grants you the "possession").
As for the law mentioned (17 USC 117,17 U.S. Code § 117 - Limitations on exclusive rights: Computer programs), that only applies in a very narrow set of circumstances, such as copying for any technical requirements for operation, or backup purposes. The AGPL additional provisions don't overlap with this provision of the copyright law. The author seems to have misinterpreted the law imho.

If we're giving suggestions ... I strongly recommend against a website that requires javascript to view anything.

My goodness! My website is useless without JS at the moment!
I 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.
One feature I need (and would like to tinker with the code to add it) is support for subtitles in multiple languages at the same time. http://voicetube.com does this to help people learn English; I'm trying to learn Chinese.
