Allow adding videos as favorites #1

Closed waldyrious closed 11 years ago

waldyrious commented 11 years ago

It is possible to do it via the API, so it would be nice to have a "favorite this video" button (maybe also like/dislike ones since the ones embedded in the video aren't very visible and it would make sense to keep a consistent interface)

There is a TON of cool stuff the site could do if we added logins (saving playlists, subscribing to channels on-site, viewing subscriptions in a way that doesn't suck, adding favorites, etc) but I'm unsure yet if I want to go down that route as it adds a ton of complexity to a site that was built to be simple. I'll have to think about this and gauge interest. Always happy to check out some pull requests as well!

Well, for people who are already logged in, stuff like video ratings (inside the video) do work already, so I thought that doing other user-specific actions would perhaps work without explicitly logging in via the site. But I may be wrong. In any case, I understand and commend your commitment to simplicity. It's an interesting dilemma, since I can see the value of all the use cases you mentioned... Let's wait and see whether others chime in :)

Ah I understand. Yeah, stuff in the actual embed uses your YouTube login since it's just a YouTube iframe. I'll look into a way to add as favorite without adding oauth to the site. Stay tuned! On Jan 23, 2013 6:32 PM, "Waldir" notifications@github.com wrote:

Looks like this can't be done outside of the API and requires a login to be done inside of the API. I'll wait and see if there's enough demand for features like this to build in the login.

hello friend. excellent script. but must login to add to favorites, it would be nice to have the option in this script. Greetings from Colombia

I think I'm going to say no on adding YouTube logins to the site in the interest of keeping it small and fast. I'll definitely consider adding it if enough people complain :)
