## What is cobalt?
beginning of 2.2 - added download popup to solve the issue with downloads on ios - merged big and small popups into one - made buttons in donation menu act like buttons - began to clean up localisation - added ability to embed repo url into localisation strings - moved ffmpeg args to config for more flexibility (and hopefully future changes) - removed error response in stream that could result in a crash - removed notice for ios users from about cause it's no longer relevant - made error popup look and act like the rest - a tiny bit of clean up - ill do better changelog tomorrow i think

Everyone is annoyed by the mess video downloaders are on the web, and cobalt aims to be the ultimate social media downloader, that is efficient, pretty, and doesn't bother you with ads or privacy invasion agreement popups.

cobalt doesn't remux any videos, so you get videos of max quality available (unless you change that in settings).

## What still has to be done
moved to new repo
2022-07-08 18:17:56 +00:00
- [ ] Quality switching for bilibili and Twitter
- [ ] Clean up the mess that localisation is right now
- [ ] Sort contents of .json files
- [ ] Rename each entry key to be less linked to specific service (entries like youtubeBroke are awful, I'm sorry)
- [ ] Add support for more languages when localisation clean up is done
- [ ] Use esmbuild to minify frontend css and js
- [ ] Make switch buttons in settings selectable with keyboard
- [ ] Do something about changelog because the way it is right now is not really great
- [ ] Remake page rendering module to be more versatile
- [ ] Matching could be redone, I'll see what I can do
- [ ] Facebook and Instagram support
- [ ] TikTok support (?)
- [ ] Support for bilibili.tv (?)
