UI is confusing

After installing the addon, it says "you need API key". Fine. I click the thing, get the API, paste it in, the key was red and clicking save makes it disappear. Ok, I guess it was wrong. I mean, it was red and nothing happened, that's the universal sign of a bad input.

Go back, redo the steps. Watch the video. Save the thing. Ok now what. I go look at OAUTH, define access, invite myself into the beta, make the thing work. All is green. WHAT.

After giving up, I went back to YT to watch a video and I noticed the dislikes worked now.

That is the worst feedback ever.

Suggestion, in order of difficulty:

  • Check input to see if it looks like an API key. Make the text green if it looks like it's close by
  • When saving the key, don't say "saved". Pop a dialog box that says "Key is saved, go to Youtube and refresh the page" or something.
  • Ideally, when key is pasted, call an API and give feedback on whether the key is valid. "Key validated, refresh Youtube for results"

Thanks, will do the same in v1.8.1

we removed the need to input an api so i don't think this would be needed anymore.
