I made this project in 2022 for the Big Challenges competition. Originally, GoodTube was supposed to help people avoid trash content and shorts from YouTube. Now it is 2024, and I abandoned this project because I did not pass to the final stage and there were no time and no passion to continue. If you want to explore more about it (surprisingly), just DM me in telegram and I will write more about the technical aspects and some tricky staff that could happen.
Since project is abandoned, I do not see the reason to write a comprehensive readme about the project, so there will be just brief overview of architecture and structure of the project.
Project consists of two parts: server side and client side.
Server side is responsible for storing data about already parsed channels. Parser uses user API keys for YouTube. I know, it sounds strange: to use user API keys to server side parsing, but there were several reasons that time.
Client side is a PyQt5 app. App contains authorization (with plain password XD), settings change, and video player for parsed videos from choosen channels.

Honestly, it will be treaky task even for me. But in general, you need to launch api.py in some vds, then somehow pass ip to the app and launch gui.py on the client side.
