About
This web app is similar to my dedicated macOS application available on Gumroad, but runs entirely in the browser. While it’s not quite as feature-rich as the Mac app, I’ll continue to keep the content updated in both places.
Why I Built This
I originally created an iOS version of my Mac app so people could search and watch my videos on iPhone and iPad. Unfortunately, Apple rejected the submission, and I didn’t feel like fighting the decision.
During its time on TestFlight, many people enjoyed using the app on their mobile devices. That feedback inspired me to build a browser-based version instead.
I’m not a web developer, but with some experimentation (and a little help from AI), I was able to create something I’m really happy with.
