Hi people! It's been about 9 months and I think it's ready for people to try this.

This is a Japanese learning desktop video player that is cross-platform, easy to setup, and open source.

You might have come across some similar app, but this app + OpenAI's Whisper is a bomb...

I'll be maintaining this app and tryna achieve all CJK supported video player.

lmao I didn't know there is a GitHub LFS bandwidth, they actually limit the amount of people who clones my repo. I got a warning this morning.

But now I've removed LFS entirely and separate some external files into extractable and downloadable components.

Took me a minute to get it to work.

I don't see anything related to Whisper, so I tried it on a youtube video without added subtitles. UX can be improved, but otherwise it's exactly what I wanted.

By the way there are some prebuilt binaries on the release, you don't have to build it on your own :)
