(For enabling you to verify that I am the author of pip I put "// upvote on steem (iapetos)" into the README.md)

Idea:
I like watching online content (videos) while coding or gaming.
The idea is to create a picture in picture viewer for DTube and other platforms that enables the user to watch online content in a resizable always on top window.

Progress:
The program works with search requests for YouTube (for instance "kurzgeasagt addiction"), with YouTube links and with ifps links (right-click the DTube video, select "copy video-address").
There may be some issues on linux.

How to use (copy of readme.md for non utopian users):

  1. Download & open pip_stable.jar (for experimental features use pip.jar) (from https://github.com/leo1200/pip)

YouTube:

  1. copy the link of a video & press start / search requests like "kurzgesagt addiction" are also possible.

DTube:

  1. open the DTube video in your browser
  2. right-click the video
  3. select "copy video address"
  4. paste the address into the textfield & press start

To do:

  • enable DTube links
  • press enter to start
  • make the window bezel-less (take a look at the development branch)
  • fix linux issues

How to contribute:
Comment ideas on how to improve pip. I will then contact you.

pip is a concept and by no means a finished product.
