Pain

Hello,

I am a developer who recently created a Chrome extension specifically for Spotube.

The idea for this extension came to me spontaneously when my girlfriend, who is not a tech-savvy person, struggled with the manual cookie extraction process described in your documentation. I realized that there must be many other users facing similar challenges, so I decided to create a solution to make this process easier for everyone and I hope this extension can contribute to its success.

Suggested solution

The extension, called "Spotify Cookie Extractor for Spotube," automates the process of extracting the 'sp_dc' cookie from Spotify's website. This cookie is necessary for Spotube to function properly, but the manual extraction process can be quite complicated for non-developers.

I believe this tool could greatly enhance the user experience for Spotube users, especially those who are not familiar with developer tools. I would love to hear your thoughts on this and discuss any potential collaborations or improvements.

Yeah, that does make sense.

Thanks for the amazing work. Yes, using this extension will be much more straightforward for less tech savy Desktop users.
I love that you've already published it in the Chrome webstore (Edit: I saw it's not yet release. But, no worries we can publish it later). I suppose, we can also publish it for Firefox users as well.

We could make the design similar to Spotube's design, and we may also host the source code for it in this repo and take issues/PRs related to it here as well. Of course, you'll be the maintainer of the extension part. I will also help from time to time. Do you think it's a good idea?

@PrivTEC luckily we managed to get webview support for Spotube and a PR with the support has been recently merged #1688

I guess we can now close this issue in favor of #1688
