  • ytdl-patched

    yt-dlp fork with some more features

  • If you can read code, then your deepest explanation is here: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

  • Anime4K

    A High-Quality Real Time Upscaler for Anime Video

  • Players like VLC do much better and let you make your own arbitrary adjustments via GLSL :)

    In particular, I like the anime4k shader pack, which is ML-based but runs in real time in mpv (and I think VLC as well). While it is tuned for anime (as is obvious from the name), it has decent denoise and deblur which often make YT content more watchable and a restore step that does a really good job with compression artifacts but is a bit too tuned for anime so may not always work, or even make things worse. See https://github.com/bloc97/Anime4K/releases

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
