If I could make a design suggestion, from a minimalist perspective:

When showing results, the text that you choose to show kinda feels like the design equivalent of "HEY YO WELCOME TO MY CHANNEL MASH THAT SUBSCRIBE BUTTON!!!".

When looking at what to display for a video, maybe consider just <Video Title>, and <Channel Link> below that?

Other thing - Maybe have some kind of simple "searching..." indicator? I hit enter, and the feedback for it was nil, so I just assumed my keystroke didn't actually search, then all of a sudden stuff just popped up.

Other than that, this is really cool! Nice and simple, very usable.

I can definitely do that. The search term I was using while designing returned much nicer descriptions. I'll just remove them completely.

>Other thing - Maybe have some kind of simple "searching..." indicator?

I agree. It is definitely an oversight. Thanks! :)


Sounds like a fun project, I'm glad it turned out so well - I wish you luck with everything!
