I wrote my own web app in Python, using pytube-fix and its lightning fast. Great library. I found a recent screenshot that's a bit behind in commits but you get the idea.

Edit: I published the source code, please note there is a LOT of work left to do, but it works. https://codeberg.org/ArtisanByteCrafter/pytube-gui

I didn't see anything like this image in the pytube-fix repo. Do you have a repo of the web interface somewhere? That looks really handy.

Will do! Edit: done: https://codeberg.org/ArtisanByteCrafter/pytube-gui

Thanks! Would you happen to know how to install with pipx? I don't fully understand Python venv stuff, but I followed instructions on how to install yt-dlp using pipx. I'm not clear on whether I could do that with your app.

So, pipx only installs a single package into an isolated environment, and my app has a list of package dependencies that must all work together. If you run the instructions in my readme line by line, you should get it working, but I understand sometimes that's not the way everyone wants to do things in a one-off manner. I have been spending some time this week getting my Dockerfile finalized and my build scripts working, so I hope to have a docker image ready within a few weeks at least of the application in its current state.
