YTSearch v0.1.0 - Functional Prototype

🚧 Functional YouTube Search Tool

This is a working prototype with core functionality operational but some UI features still in development.

✅ What Works

• Multi-preset search with strict date/duration/language filtering
• 3-key API fallback system handles quota limits gracefully
• Channel blocking with persistent UI management
• CLI probe tool for testing and debugging
• Modern UI with dark theme and responsive layout

🧪 Tested & Confirmed

• Successfully retrieved 112 videos across 5 API pages in 24-hour test
• Sequential key fallback working (tries YT_API_private → .alt → ,old)
• All filtering logic operational (English-first, no Shorts, date windows)

🚧 Known Limitations

• Preset editor: Shows "not implemented" placeholder (no New/Edit/Delete)
• API key management: Must edit YT_API_private files manually (no UI)
• UI polish: Missing thumbnails, basic layout, limited keyboard shortcuts

🚀 Quick Start

1. Get YouTube Data API v3 key from Google Cloud Console
2. Place in YT_API_private file
3. cargo run for UI or cargo run --bin probe -- --hours 24 for CLI test

Perfect for sharing as a functional prototype! Core search functionality is solid, just needs UI polish for full production use.
