#2I've been working on polishing my YouTube archiver project for the last while and I've finally released a solid version of it, it has an offline web viewer/visualiser for archived channels and it's managed using a cli. Most importantly, its easy to use :)

#5Did you write your own YouTube scraper, which would be quite a task, or is this based on something like ytdl? Might be worth mentioning in the readme.

Indeed it appears to use yt-dlp https://github.com/Owez/yark/blob/676074ee3d9e379d15e52ffe2e...

#7If you want to provide an option to upload artifacts to the Internet Archive, you could crib off of https://github.com/bibanon/tubeup It too relies on yt-dlp for extraction.
Importantly, pay close attention to what artifacts are uploaded to an item created, and what metadata is set as part of the upload process.

ytdl is one of its dependencies
You clearly didn't even skim the readme to see what this does

#10This is really slick. I was figuring it was just a simple wrapper for yt-dlp which scraped some additional things (comments, views, etc) but you went above and beyond with the web interface. Nice job!
