Hello! This is a continuation from my FT project YT-Clone. It was a static clone of the YouTube home page.

I am now trying to add some functionality to it by using JS (the project didn’t have it before since I only wanted to focus on the style) and make it somewhat like the real website.

I used AI to help me with the YouTube API implementation and I set up everything needed like getting an API key. Since API keys are tied to the google account and their usage affects the account directly, I’m not going to include the API key within the code base (like you shouldn’t but I have to since I’m hosting it in github pages. I’ll look for other workarounds though.)

The API now calls videos based on categories but they are always the same, sometimes they include shorts. I’ll look into it and tweak it a bit to reduce the amounts of YouTube shorts appearing and make it somewhat random.
