Motivation

I recently found out about ani-cli, but it was not cross-platform because it was written in shell, so I decided to recreate that same thing in Python, hoping to make it cross-platform and possibly also have pretty UI.

TODO

• Stream on browser
• Make streaming on browsers ad free
• Stream to video player like MPV
