@ -24,4 +24,6 @@ After some time, things kept evolving in the same direction. The new developers
After an extensive review of the project, we found that for an open-source project that started as a straightforward youtube downloader, surprisingly it evolved into a **multi website** video downloader with many more features than the ones it started with.
Interestingly enough, around the date when the original developer, Ricardo, stopped working on **Youtube-dl** the community took over and there was a boom. Fortunately this went well, but could result in inconsistencies or even some redundant pieces of code.
In the opinion of the authors of this report, the development process of the application, even though it wasnt structured from the beginning, took advantage of the best part of the open source community. The constant feedback from users and the help of new developers created a structure that was organically put together by the community. This worked well in this specific case as the final result its more mature and well structured than the initial prototype.
