What it does
An easy-to-use and very lightweight(<100KB) video player for local video/audio files on desktop platforms, powered by Web technology. In addition to using the mouse, it supports many useful keyboard shortcuts , as well as a few simple settings. Independent or embedded subtitles are not supported, but if the subtitles are already in the video stream, they can be displayed. Maybe I will support independent subtitle files in the future. Currently only supports local file playback. There are no plans to support online streaming media. For the PWA install version, open "about://apps" in the address bar (or the launcher if you use ChromeOS), then right click the app icon. For the Browser…from webvideoplayer.org

Hey all My name is Sindre, and I am the CTO of Scrimba (YC S20). For the last 7 years, I have written all my web apps in a full-stack programming language called Imba. It compiles to JavaScript and its main goal is to make web developers more productive.

The backstory: Imba initially started in 2012 as an effort…
