I’m aware of a few other similar extensions that were/are open source, looking in the commit history, it’s often just a single guy plugging away, with few contributions.
Yeah, realistically I doubt open sourcing this would benefit the project in any practical way. And to be clear, I wasn’t advocating for you to do so (I think closed source software has a place in the world too), I was just musing out loud.
Having said that, if someone is interested in doing some significant work, we can add you to the repo and throw some cash your way from time to time.
I’ll definitely consider that for the future! Although right now I’m focused on other things. I’m also more of a low-level C/C++ guy than a web developer, so my skills may not be up to snuff. When I made my changes to Voracious, I basically just hacked around until I got things to behave how I wanted. It’s hardly clean code, ha ha.
btw, I just sent an email to Russel Simmons, developer of Voracious, maybe he can give us some help creating an offline video player with LLN code.
I would be super into this. Having a seamless UX between my Netflix and offline language study, and e.g. syncing my saved words etc. between them would be amazing.
