From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi Lemmy!

This post is a way for me to announce one of my apps that I made for my personal usage.

Azul box

It is a front end for yt-dlp and ffmpeg. It isn't just a yt-dlp downloader; it's more like a utility app that does anything that I need. The "special" part about this software is probably the ability to download YouTube subtitles and then embed them into the audio file as synced lyrics. Well, that is the only "unique" thing about it. As I’m still quite new to programming, there may be some bugs, and I appreciate your understanding. I’m also learning how to package it as a deb/rpm and plan to dedicate time to this during the summer. For now, the only way to download it will be to build from source with the bash install script in my repo.

If you have some time to try the app, I would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you for taking the time to read this! :)
