    Hermes – Self-hosted video downloader▲8

    I've been playing with my home server again, and I was looking for a video downloader. I found one that looked great, but was no longer functional. So, I vibe-coded my own. Hermes is a REST API and web app built on top of yt-dlp. Why not just use yt-dlp? Additional features, phone support, and automations. Coming soon will be a very basic video editor so you can easily remux and trim your downloaded videos.
