Magic-tape is an image supporting fuzzy finder tui YouTube client.

UPDATE

Now introducing a new feature: the video description as well as the comments written by YT viewers will be shown in the terminal window, while the video is reproduced.

Thus, the user can be satisfied reading other viewers having a swing at the politicians/celebrities/stars they love to hate, or, watch closely to their heart's content, as cyber nuclear attacks are launched between self-righteous, valiant and livid keyboard fighters.

Comment loading is asynchronous to video loading, so it is possible that there will be some delay in the appearence of the comments. That depends on the number of comments, network speed etc.

But if others take the chance and it sticks around a bit, I’ll come around ;-)

Hey, like many bash scripts, this one is just a glorifief one-liner. But I use it everyday, I am biased, of course, but it is rather convenient, and prevents me from getting lost in rabbit holes.
