FYI, There is a really cool design project here: https://refresh.study/ that also explored the 'playlist' feature.
I've been building a browser the past year (https://synth.app), and have learned a few things from it (including implementing media players like this). Really makes you realize how little our browsers are currently doing for us.
I can see a lot of interesting new ideas in Synth! "Smart Bookmarks & History" sound great on their own but "Auto-Roam" is what nailed my own itch. Are you still working on it?
Thanks -- Yes, full time! It's been the only browser installed on my computer the last few months. We have a bunch of friends using it exclusively but are still polishing a things for a broader release.
No problem. It is. I an curious how you feel about that. The engine is a bit agnostic of the rendering layer (we will have a similarly powerful iOS app at some point too).
This will get shut down very soon. I am actually surprised Apple even approved this.
I essentially built the same thing for myself (music player that combines/searches multiple sources, use youtube-dl server to stream optimized mp3 only), I had to skip app store and sideload it.
Apple reviewer likely didn’t notice the new features. They spend minutes on each app and this feature is not very obvious, especially when it’s just a feature in a big browser app.
This clearly violates YouTube TOS and Brave knows it, I wonder what’s their plan is.
Even if, hypothetically, Apple doesn't pull it, how long until Google blocks it? Is Brave big enough to be sued if they continue circumventing Youtube's terms?
This seems to be bypassing all the ads in YT? Basically we can get Youtube Premium for free here? Wondering what's the legal implication for brave.com to make such as app?
Youtube-dl also gives you this ability. My sense is that Google doesn't like it but doesn't want to deal with the PR fallout of banning tools like youtube-dl at the moment. Perhaps if this gets popular enough Google will do something.
> Brave Playlist supports most open web standards. However, it does not currently support Digital Rights Management (DRM) tools or media delivery services (e.g. Spotify or Netflix).
Other than that, seems like a handy app, especially now that travel is on the upswing again.
Neat. It feels like there’s space for browsers to “browse” non-html content. This is a great example. So much of my browsing is media based, it makes sense that the web browser should have media controls and features.
I wonder if generating/editing media could also use some love. For instance, basic audio/video editing so you can clean stuff up before you post it.
> Audio and Video can be saved for offline mode, for playback when you don’t have internet, but they cannot be downloaded and moved to a separate device.
The missing download and export function seems like an obvious and very annoying omission.

Google never allowed alternative YouTube clients that had this exact feature set on the play store.
The DOJ needs to break apart Apple. If not the DOJ, then Epic's court case.
Apple literally became the monster in their 1984 commercial.
Sure, the current situation isn’t what I’d want either, but this line of thought makes no sense.
edit: I could be completely over thinking this.

Hopefully it can be added in the future.
