ROADMAP

Goal: deliver a containerised YouTube downloader web app — one URL input, two download buttons (MP3 / Video), always best available quality.

Priority 1

Objective: Containerised YouTube downloader with a minimal browser UI.

  • User pastes a YouTube URL into a single input field.
  • Clicking Download MP3 triggers a server-side yt-dlp run that extracts audio at the highest available bitrate (converted to MP3 via ffmpeg) and streams the file back to the browser for download.
  • Clicking Download Video triggers a server-side yt-dlp run that fetches the best video+audio quality and streams the file back to the browser for download.
  • The entire app runs in a single Docker container (docker build / docker run -p 8080:8080 yt-dl) with no external dependencies beyond Docker.
  • No login, no database, no persistent storage required — stateless request/response.

Acceptance Criteria

  • docker build completes without errors.
  • docker run -p 8080:8080 yt-dl starts the server.
  • Pasting a valid YouTube URL and clicking Download MP3 delivers an .mp3 file to the browser.
  • Pasting a valid YouTube URL and clicking Download Video delivers a best-quality video file (.mp4 / .mkv) to the browser.
  • Invalid or empty URLs show a clear error message in the UI (no server crash).

Out of Scope

  • Playlist batch downloads.
  • User accounts / history.
  • Progress bars / live download status (nice-to-have but not required for v1).
