Video Downloader for Windows

Added Recipe Maker site for Eggsplode!
Added a version detector to the website, so Windows 10 users get the Win 10 version, and Windows 11 users get the Win 11 version.
A lot of people (including reviewers) misunderstood how videos are saved, so I've added a warning to the website.
The auto-updater doesn't work on Windows 10 for some reason, have to find a way to fix it. For now, I've set the classic MSIX installer as default download, and added the app installer with auto-update functionality as second option for Windows 11.
I think this is ready...
Added auto-update ability!
Improved the download page.
Made a website to showcase the app!
Tried to make a self-extracting ZIP. Didn't go too well...
The progress bar now shows the total progress when downloading playlists!
I'd like to remind you that this project does not just download from YouTube, but also from Spotify, SoundCloud, and many more!
Made an ASCII diagram for visual explanation of the program's workings.
It works! Thanks to RokeJulianLockhart for their input!
Self-signed MSIX package creation tool
Normally, Microsoft package installers (MSIX) require a certificate signed by an official certificate authority, which can cost up to 500$/year and is especially problematic for hobby developers and students (like me). This PowerShell script works around the issue by installing a self-signed certificate (which is free) to the user's machine and running the package installer afterwards.
Finally managed to make an installer! 😅
I've now added support for MP3 files and custom arguments! Plus, many improvements to the UI.
What do you think of the new app icon?
It can now download a YouTube video or playlist! Yay!
Just started building my first WinUI 3 app! It's really satisfying to see your project look like a professional Windows app right from the start!
Video Downloader for Windows
IMPORTANT: Video metadata will not be altered, which is why videos might not appear at the top of the Download folder if sorted by date. Wyder is a simple, yet powerful video downloader for Windows based on yt-dlp that allows you to download videos from various platforms, including YouTube, Spotify, and more. It supports multiple formats and resolutions, ensuring you get the best quality for your needs. Note that the debugging process was assisted by GitHub Copilot.
This was widely regarded as a great move by everyone.
