## Description

Short Video Hider is a lightweight iOS app bundled with a Safari Web Extension. It restores control over your browsing experience on platforms like YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and Reddit.

Features
- Remove Shorts and Reels surfaces while keeping regular videos and posts intact.
- Redirect to the normal video view for Shorts and ignore Reels.
- Hide UI elements related to Shorts or Reels.
- Smart, SPA-aware blocking that adapts to page navigation.
- No tracking or external calls – all logic runs locally.

Optional tip unlock:
- Hide the YouTube logo for a cleaner, minimalist interface.

iOS app highlights:
- An animated, always-on background with a Flappy Bird vibe – tap anywhere to play.
- Crisp, readable UI with glassy backgrounds behind controls.
- Clear instructions for enabling the Safari extension.

Safari Web Extension capabilities:
- Cross-platform coverage (YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit).
- Deep integration with navigation APIs, attribute selectors and efficient DOM updates.
- Per-site toggles (redirect vs hide UI) in the extension settings.

Privacy first:
- No ads, analytics or external network requests.
- All data is local to your device.

What it doesn’t do:
- Doesn’t block ads.
- Doesn’t hide regular content – only Shorts and Reels surfaces.
- Doesn’t do anything to the YouTube App

Getting started:
- Install the iOS app.
- Enable the bundled extension via Settings → Safari → Extensions.
- Use the in-app settings or extension settings to customise behaviour per platform.

Known limitations:
- Platforms evolve, so if a Shorts or Reels element slips through, a future update usually addresses it quickly.

Thanks for trying it out. If you enjoy it, tipping helps support further improvements!
