FLTube

FLTube is a lightweight desktop application for searching and streaming YouTube videos, developed in C++ using the FLTK toolkit and powered by yt-dlp. Originally built for the Spirit-OS distribution, FLTube is designed to run efficiently on minimal GNU/Linux environments and low-resolution screens.

The app enables users to search videos by keyword or direct URL, supporting both English and Spanish localization through GNU gettext. It integrates yt-dlp for fast video streaming and downloading, delivering a simple yet powerful interface for low-resource systems.
