Extension

https://www.raycast.com/vimtor/youtube-downloader

Description

According to https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/supportedsites.md. The yt-dlp supports not only YouTube but also many other sites.

@vimtor How about renaming our extension to Video Downloader and unlocking its ability for more sites?

We can update the extension description to "Download YouTube and other site videos from Raycast" so that users can still find the extension by searching "youtube download".

What need to do

  1. Rename the title to Video Downloader
  2. Update the extension description to keep its search visibility
  3. Drop the isYouTubeURL() validator and validate URLs with yt-dlp's built-in URL checking process since we already improved the error message in [YouTube Downloader] Improve error message #16595.
  4. Link the yt-dlp supported sites in the extension readme. We don't need to validate the site in our code since they keep adding more and more sites to the supported list. The yt-dlp can show error messages like ERROR: Unsupported URL: https://example.com; this should be clear enough.

What can be improved

We can use Form.Description and Form.LinkAccessory to give users hints about frequently asked questions.

This would be awesome! I think as long as we set the extension description as "Download videos from YouTube, 𝕏, etc." we should be fine in terms of discoverability.

Thanks for the late contributions to the extension @LitoMore! You are the best 👑
