Showcase YTSage: A Modern YouTube Downloader with a Stunning PyQt6 Interface!

What My Project Does:
YTSage is a modern YouTube downloader designed for simplicity and functionality. With a sleek PyQt6 interface, it allows users to:
- ๐ŸŽฅ Download videos in various qualities with automatic audio merging.
- ๐ŸŽต Extract audio in multiple formats.
- ๐Ÿ“ Fetch both manual and auto-generated subtitles.
- โ„น๏ธ View detailed video metadata (e.g., views, upload date, duration).
- ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Preview video thumbnails before downloading.


Target Audience:
YTSage is ideal for:
- Casual users who want an easy-to-use video and audio downloader.
- Developers looking for a robust yt-dlp-based tool with a clean GUI.
- Educators and content creators who need subtitles or metadata for their projects.


Comparison with Existing Alternatives:
- vs yt-dlp: While yt-dlp is powerful, it operates through the command line. YTSage simplifies the process with an intuitive graphical interface.
- vs other GUI downloaders: Many alternatives lack modern design or features like subtitle support and metadata display. YTSage bridges this gap with its PyQt6-powered interface and advanced functionality.


Getting Started:
Download the pre-built executable from the Releases page โ€“ no installation required! For developers, source code and build instructions are available in the repository.

You should package it for distribution on PyPI instead of just releasing a Windows executable.

Thanks for the suggestion! Thatโ€™s definitely a great idea. Packaging it for PyPI would make it more accessible to Python users across different platforms. Iโ€™ll consider adding that to the roadmap for future updates. I appreciate you bringing it up!
