LeoTube

LeoTube is a native Cocoa/AppKit YouTube client concept for Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard PowerPC.

It uses FreeTube as a functional blueprint, not as a direct technical base.

Design Rules

• No Electron
• No Vue runtime
• No Node.js application shell
• Cocoa/AppKit first
• WebKit only where HTML rendering is appropriate
• Invidious API first
• Local subscriptions, history, favorites and settings
• SQLite for local storage
• QTKit / QuickTime or external player for playback
• Mac OS X 10.5.8 PowerPC is the primary target

Repository Layout

• docs/ contains LeoTube design notes.
• src/ contains the future native Cocoa application.
• tools/ contains helper scripts.
• vendor/FreeTube/ contains the unmodified FreeTube reference source.
