That's brilliant! We can never predict the impact our tools will have on people's lives.

Your idea of partially porting youtube-dl to the browser gives me an idea... would it be feasible to port it fully? I think the biggest hurdle would be ffmpeg, but a few days ago I saw "A pure WebAssembly / JavaScript port of FFmpeg": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24987861

With webassembly right now I'm doing wild things right now, I'm sure it is possible and will happen. We already have ytdl-core js [1]
