Ah it's buggy, youtube really doesn't like their videos being downloaded. Built it with yt-dlp library. Continuously tweaking it

As a heads up, you might soon need a JS runtime to make it work[1]. You might have to tweak even more (: [1] https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/14404

Oh boy, fun stuff. Thanks for the heads up

That's fair, what would you want to see safety-wise? Whole point of it is to make something safe and reliable

How can users be sure that their inputs are not being saved somewhere on the backend? If I paste a bunch of content into these forms, and it inadvertently has some sensitive data in it, such as a credential or key of some kind, how do I know that isn't a data breech?

I would assume it goes without saying to be careful and never use credentials or keys in an online tool that way, mine or otherwise. I don't save data but its something I'll work on to ensure.

Can't imagine what kind of stuff ChatGPT has on us too :D

A way to merge multiple pdfs together/some features of sterlingpdf

Yes I know I could self host it but I felt really overwhelmed self hosting it.

So much so that I created a golang (LLM generated, funny how I am so AI skeptic when I use it, hey I just don't think its worth it economically no matter what) but yeah, its a simple golang code which just takes some pdfs, merges them. The code is shitty but I didn't write it and stores it in the server for some time so you definitely need to make some modifications.

https://gist.github.com/SerJaimeLannister/d925689d54fe7ccf79...

Please modify it as I (built?) this for my own use case but the main thing I want to take away from this is that pdfcpu for golang might be really nice library for golang for pdf's except the binary is 20MB of size and I would love to see it shrunk down a bit y'know.

Anyways, nice project.

Does The Youtube downloader work? BTW this reminds me of excellent https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/

there is also uh, god, I always forget its name whenever I want to use it....

AHHHHH YESS, I FINALLY REMEMBERED IT AFTER 5 minutes of thinking.

https://cobalt.tools

This has definitely helped me a lot in a lot of times when I didn't have my pc or just in general too, their api was also pretty hackable too actually and they support more than youtube

Btw did I mention its open source?

Tho the last time I did try to install something from cobalt.tools it wasn't working

One time, I remember that a group of girls in my previous school were downloading yt vids on school lab via some sketchy website and I said to them to use cobalt.tools while I was walking & I definitely farmed some aura too I suppose which I am sure literally everyone involved in the scene have forgotten except me who is recalling it right now.
