For a copy on your own computer you need a browser and a little Python. - A web browser - Python and the pip tool, only for the download step 1. Install the Hugging Face hub package with pip. 2. Download the Space's files into a folder. 3. Move into that folder. 4. Open index.html in a web browser. ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub hf download loubnabnl/le-tube --repo-type space --local-dir le-tube cd le-tube ``` ### How to use it Open the Space's page on Hugging Face, or index.html from a local copy. Browse the videos, adjust the topic mix and style, and like what you enjoy so your feed follows your taste. Your likes and history stay in your browser. ```sh hf download loubnabnl/le-tube --repo-type space --local-dir le-tube ``` ### Example You open the page and like three wildlife films. You then move the topic mix toward nature and documentaries. The feed shifts toward more of those videos, and nothing about your likes leaves your browser. ### For newcomers and experts Think of it as a video shelf with no engagement chasing. To start, open the page, scroll the feed and press like on a few videos you enjoy. The feed then leans toward them. Under the hood it is static HTML with JSON data files, so there is no server and no account. The collection comes from the HackerTube data set, which is built from open-index/hacker-news, plus official YouTube channels. Views, dates and durations come from the YouTube Data API. The trade-off is that data is fixed in the files, so the shelf only changes when the files do. Open the page in a browser → Static page loads its JSON video data → Tune topic mix and style → Likes steer the feed ### Good to know - License: ODC-By - Cost to run: none named - Data it reaches: video data files in the Space, and your likes and history, which stay in your browser - Not for: anyone looking for an official page, since the author states no ties to YouTube, Hacker News or HackerTube ## README ````markdown # Le Tube Shows a video browsing page in the style of YouTube, ranked for curious people beyond programming, with your likes and history kept in your own browser.
