Hobune needs a few changes made and I think it might be best to create a "v2" for this.

Strikethrough means already implemented.

• Recreate the design in a more pure way
  • Look and feel should stay close to what it is now
  • Dark theme support
  • Semantic/Fomantic UI shouldn't be used as it's bloat (both in terms of performance and )
  • No JS should be used except where functionally necessary
• Smarter ways of handling pages with a lot of content
  • (optional) Client-side DOM lazy-load?
• Sorting/search options on pages
  • By name, date, views; filter by removed/unlisted
  • Search by video/channel title and ID
• Better channel ID and name handling
  • Make sure channel ID vs /user/ doesn't get separated
  • Store all historic channel names found so they can be used in search
• Separate app into multiple components/files for better modularity and plugins
• Make it work on Windows by default
• Dedupe videos by default
• Comments page should show comments count (both top-level and all) - Link back to YouTube links wherever possible
• Make it easier to download everything, eg provide a wget command (maybe we could even download and generate a zip in JS for smaller channels?)
• Support generating comments even if video itself isn't present
• Cache folder listings (so we don't like /other a hundred thousand times)
• Extract metadata gathering from info.json into a separate module so it can easily be extended for fallbacks
• Single video/channel mode
• Video length
