That’s what I do, except I straight up create the python venv in a folder, activate it and then do pip install yt-dlp. No messing up with my system.

This is at the very least super interesting.
This is very good.
It seems that it is based on Qt, so there might be a easy way to fix this unless they’re creating their controls from scratch. I know QML can be used as a canvas to draw custom controls, so it depends on the code.
I’m not sure how that could even be done, maybe a way to control the GUI with commands that you’d then be able to script, like Selenium on browsers?
That would probably look terrible though.
I think it’s easy to make a generic YAML editor that all you need to do is to pass a “definitions” file that says all the possible options to show as a drop down or toggle etc.
That would be useful for many projects.
Certainly one of the things is to keep building stuff. I’ve recently decided to write a small app (I went for a clone app because I don’t want to deal with designing it) and it has really forced me to learn SwiftUI (I’ve only used UIKit professionally), while previously I’d read articles without much reason to hold on to them.
So if you want to learn something, find a project that will force you to learn that thing, but if the purpose is to learn, don’t try to make it an “original idea” or something like that. It would only lead to procrastination. Find an existing tool that makes use of what you want to learn and try to implement it yourself.
The problem with Sublime is that it’s a paid one, and not everybody wants to pay for something that is perceived by the community as something that should be free and open source.
Yeah, I guess the idea of VSCode isn’t to be a “ready to use” IDE, but to be configurable — which it is.
The main thing that makes it popular nowadays is the ecosystem of plugins around it. Ex: when Copilot was released, I believe the VSCode plugin was the best one.
Also many frameworks docs have instructions on how to use it with VSCode and which plugins to install, such as some web frameworks and Flutter.
It’s a good concept, I just have to look it up and understand exactly what it is doing before I start using it.
