Welcome to our MeTube project repository! 🌟 Below, you'll find detailed information about the project and resources to help you get started.
MeTube is a streamlined, open-source platform inspired by YouTube, designed for a minimalistic and distraction-free viewing experience. The platform focuses on simplicity and ease of use, allowing users to search for and watch videos without unnecessary clutter. Upon opening a video, users have access to just two buttons—one to view the video’s description and the other to see the pinned comment—ensuring a clear and straightforward interface. The project is community-driven, encouraging contributions to enhance and maintain the platform's functionality and user experience.
JavaScript: Vanilla JavaScript: Used to manage DOM manipulation, event handling, and API calls. Fetch API: For making asynchronous HTTP requests to the YouTube API to fetch video details, search results, and comments. Backend Technologies:
API: The application interacts with the YouTube Data API (v3) to retrieve video search results, descriptions, and comments. This is an external API provided by Google, and the code uses API keys to access it.
Additional:
Deployment: Such a frontend application could be hosted using platforms like GitHub Pages, Netlify, or Vercel, as it’s primarily frontend with API integration. Authentication: API keys are used for authenticating requests to the YouTube API.
