YouTube Plus

YouTube Plus is a Chrome extension backed by a Next.js API that keeps a synced list of watched videos.

Features

• Mark videos as watched
• Hide watched videos
• Sync watched state across devices

Local development

1. Install dependencies with npm install.
2. Create .env.local from .env.example.
3. Start the API with npm run dev.
4. Load the extension/ directory as an unpacked extension in Chrome.

Local API override

The extension defaults to the hosted API. To point a YouTube tab at a local backend, run this in the browser console:

localStorage.setItem("ytplus-api-url", "http://localhost:3000/api");

To switch the tab back to the hosted API:

localStorage.removeItem("ytplus-api-url");
