I had so much hope when I saw "cross-platform", finally a youtube downloader my parents can use on their 8 year old laptops.
But alas, it's just electron. I guess they'll continue to use Newpipe on their phones, which has been working very well.

QT can be okay if done right, but C++ is neither ideal nor approachable for Application development, especially for hobbyists.
Newpipe has been working well?
Throttling issues. Takes too much time to load. Video is black for a few seconds when changing to full screen. Comments don't load sometimes. Only comment loads sometimes.
It is fundamentally broken.
