Built a Python-based YouTube video downloader and converter – looking for feedback & contributors

Hey devs,

I recently built a command-line YouTube downloader in Python called ytconverter. It’s designed to fetch videos directly from YouTube and convert them into formats like MP3 and MP4. The goal was to make a simple, functional tool without external GUIs or bloated software — just clean CLI efficiency.

Key features:

  • Download YouTube videos
  • Convert to various formats (MP3, MP4, etc.)
  • Handles basic metadata
  • Easy to set up and use

If you're someone who likes working with Termux, CLI tools, or Python automation, this might be useful for you.

The project is open-source, so feel free to try it out, suggest improvements, or even contribute if you're interested.

Here’s the repo:

For any error, contact: kaif.repo.official@gmail.com
Let me know what you think! Suggestions, critiques, or PRs are all welcome.

Thanks!
