A cross-platform GUI for YouTube-dl
This past week I made/forked something similar for macOS only.
There was a GUI for youtube-dl I liked but never could get to work called [Get-It](https://github.com/Kevin-De-Koninck/Get-It), and with many people switching to the actively-maintained fork yt-dlp, I decided to try using that as a base for making a clone with the latter as a backend.
I don't know Swift at all but thought I'd try it out to see if I could, and it seems to work for the most part on my end. I also cleaned up random errors I found in the code (like a rogue youtube link to a Grand Theft Auto 5 video?) and made things a bit more consistent, or at least I'd like to think so. Changed the UI and added a toggle to block sponsorships from videos as well, but not totally sure if that works all that well yet.
I'd love if anyone would try it out and report any issues they run into, it's been fun trying to fix it up!

A cross-platform GUI for YouTube-dl
Agreed. The best format might be one specially defined for the job.
I built a GUI-builder ages ago (in Python, compiling to Tkinter). Here's a sample of what the UI-definition language looked like: https://github.com/cabalamat/parrot/blob/master/simple2.par
