User reviews
It is not as stable as it should, I lost many of the playlists of several weeks... This just happened suddenly, some remained.
The lack of cloud synchronization or auto-backup of file is what makes me give it this rating, I hope the developers will implant this (with LLM is very easy to do)...
Another issue is the saved playlists don't show in the menu... Only sometimes it happens that they show but most of the time they do not appear at all.
I wish also that it will be easier to add a video to certain playlist without having to right-click or open a tab then combine... something that is integrated as YT button...
Another feature that would be great to have it to be able to select several video via checkbox and moving them from one playlist to another, merging playlists via drag and drop or selecting then using a merge button.
Sidebar support maybe will make this even better since it will be possible to drag and drop the video from YT to where we want them to be, and have the playlists always visible... which will make it easier to access and organize.
