Process the URL to see if

If the URL is from youtube
The URL is valid and can be processed with our APIs
Easier to introduce future support for multiple APIs Ex. of future support: Reddit, gifycat, imgur,

I have a few questions on this:

Do we introduce this as an 'automagic' detection when pasting the URL?
Do we place a dropdown list with the service you want to use and if you put an URL, the dropdown selects the best service according to the string?

What are the thoughts over there?

Definitely automagic

So, what about, when you open the app, you see the [YTVideo, YTPlaylist] tabs. (That's what we have for now) None of them are selected, and you immediately have a Text field for "Enter URL". Based on that, it'll detect what the hell you pasted there, and redirect you to the correct tab.

Great idea! the question is who will write that code 😂

I can try once we have advanced a bit with playlist UI, how does that sound?
