I found the manual process of downloading various YouTube assets painful so built a simple app to help myself and hopefully others. The app wraps up popular Python libraries (`yt-dlp, scrapetube, youtube-transcript-api`) and makes their functionality easier to use. Python and Docker versions are available.

This simple tool was born out of a personal need for a more efficient way to consume YouTube content. It provides you with a short and segment-wise summary of a YouTube video. Each segment is printed with a link to that part of the video. I know there are several Chrome extensions that do this, butI work with different browsers so I wanted a simple CLI app for that. Hope this helps anyone else. Any feedback would be much appreciated
