Did you copy Christoph Finks project?

I didn't copy any project.

Although, I learnt Flask (the framework I use for this app) while developing MetaTube, and the project structure is heavily inspired by the excellent Flask guide by Miguel Grinberg. Check him out if you're interested in learning Flask.

I've not looked too deeply but you may find this interesting then: https://gitlab.com/christophfink/metatube/-/tree/main/metatube

It's a Python package written by Cristoph Fink that does what it sounds like yours does and it's got the same name!!

I only discovered it cos I was gonna create an Arch (AUR) package of your MetaTube app until I noticed it already exists but for Christoph's. So I got confused and realised you both have similar projects with the same name....????

Let me know if you've 'crossed streams' cos I've adopted his Arch (AUR) package (since it was orphaned) and I'm not sure what to do with it!! Either I create a new package with yours named slightly different or I replace the existing with yours? Also does yours have a Python Package at PyPi cos his does?

If not I can create one for you if you want but I gotta ask for Arch and PyPi - what do you want yours called? :/

If you haven't forked his and developed it further I'll probs just create a new package of yours but maybe gimme a hint what to name it?

Suggestion: I can name yours metatubeon AUR since it's pushed as a full app. His can stay as python-metatube since his is a PyPI package. How does that sound?

ETA: I feel like I'm your band promoter/manager!! 😂

Ah well, that is a funny coincidence then. I guess neither Christoph Fink nor I were very creative with coming up with a name for our respective apps.

I've personally never heard of his project, but I can say that I haven't published my package at the PyPi register. Although, I do have published it to the Docker Hub.

Maybe metatube-ui for my package and metatube-cli for his? Considering his package mainly runs from the CLI and mine is a web UI.
