In Show HN: I made a Bluesky video downloader that can download videos from BlueskyYouTube is sometimes unreachable because of A/B testing of forced log in
2 points · Open discussionCorrect me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure Cobalt isn’t a yt-dlp frontend - it seems to have its own code for downloading[1], and I’ve seen tweets by the developer, talking about adding/fixing support for various services

In Cobalt – Free and Open Source yt-dlp front end with no adsShow HN: Cobalt – social media downloader with no bullshit
Hey, HN!
I made my own social media downloader because I got annoyed by others that either shove 50 ad banners down your throat, or require you to do some extra steps.
The frontend page is light and all processing is done on the server, so it runs speedily on pretty much anything.
It also has a bunch of download/ui customization options, but none of them are forced on you.
My main goal was to make something that's open, easy to use, and not annoying to deal with.
Please take a look at it and let me know what you think, I'm thirsty for feedback and opinions.
You can also take a look at its source code and judge my coding abilities: https://github.com/wukko/cobalt
