Simplifying the YouTube Summariser: Command-Line First, with Streaming Next
We need to simplify! Right now the youtube summariser tool (https://github.com/weijianzhg/youtube-summariser) offering both a web UI and a command-line option which feels a bit cumbersome. If we just focus on the command line tooling and make it really easy to use, that’s probably more beneficial.
If it’s only a command-line tool, I can package it as a Python package and publish it on PyPI, so other people can easily use it. I think that would bring more value to the tooling overall.
That’s what I did. You can find it here: https://pypi.org/project/youtube-summariser/
Another thing is streaming. For larger inputs, like a YouTube video that’s several hours long, users probably won’t want to wait for the entire output to finish. It’d be better to stream the results as they’re generated and keep the connection alive the whole time. I will do this next.
