Welcome

This is just a pet project to learn more about Python Flask and NextJS.

The backend is Python Flask and the frontend is NextJS. The database is Firestore.

For now...

• This just links the YouTube Video's URL which you can click on.
• I just run python backend\python.py and npm run build && npm run start

Why?

I click "subscribe" on a lot of channels I enjoy watching. I even click that bell icon! A few months (or was it years) ago YouTube stopped sending e-mail notifications for when new videos were uploaded. I (try to) practice inbox zero and used that to tune-in. Since that, I've had to use the notification bell on the mobile app or website, which is very cumbersome.

I also want to learn more about Python Flask and NextJS!

While YouTubeDL-Material & TubeArchivist are great projects, I wanted something more lightweight and geared towards "serverless".
