darelife/distractionfreeyoutube

A website with the vids released in the last week by your favorite creators

DistractionFreeYoutube

Made it to avoid getting distracted by youtube vids.

Webpages

video_id -> The id of the video at the end of the url
Eg: In, "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abcdefghijk" video_id = "abcdefghijk"
Or In, "https://youtu.be/abcdefghijk", video_id = "abcdefghijk"

• Home Page (/):

  Has a video which you can set using (/set?s={video_id}). The default video is a "study with me" video by "Merve"

• Single yt vid (/yt?s={video_id}) :

  If you just happened to receive a particular videos link, and want to watch it without going to the youtube website, you can use this webpage.

• Set default video (/set?s={video_id}) :

  If you want to set a different video for your home page, you can use this. It saves the video_id in your cookies folder.

• Selected content creators (uploaded in the last week only) (/youtube) :

  If you want to watch vids by only some content creators, you will need to edit the dictionary channelIdList, in yt_rec.py. The steps to get the channel id's is in the comments above it. It only shows the videos uploaded by the content creators specified, in the last week.

Important Fixes

Ideas & Things To Do

• Work on the parallax animation, by adding more layers.
• Remove "Welcome Darelife" and replace it with motivational quotes
• Make the video pop out when the video isn't in the users frame of view.
• Work on making the display perfect for different screen sizes.
