This project is a simple exercise to build a chrome extension to download videos from youtube.

project-setup:

Run-server-locally:

you need to have node-js installed locally

Run the server by running node index.js into the terminal

After doing so, pin the extensionn to appear in the bar of extensions
Open any youtube video and click on extension icon

Notes

This is the first attempt of doing this, I will surely be updating it and improving
I used a local server to help run the extension, and I have plans to change this
If you have any suggestions/feedback feel free to contact me, I am very open to that
This is just a learning project :)
