youtube is definitely one of those platforms that you use so often and for so long that you genuinely forget that it can be improved this much. great work!!
@@avi12from my experience, I use mobile 99% time to watch RUclips videos, not computers, PC and e. t. c. And yeah you can also get extensions, but then you need to use specific browser and they don't even have all the extensions that PC have so I'd rather use native app
"we" - I am pretty sure a company as large as youtube runs plenty of A and B testing whilst recording our every movement on the platform, to figure out exactly what design and layout suits the masses. Just because some of us like this redesign, does not make it an inferior product to anyone but you.
it's not so bad. honestly, if they just returned dislikes and added autoscrolling for shorts they'd get praised and glazed for a whole year edit: and fixed the live-chat. praise and glaze for 2 years
I can only point out (copy and paste of my main comment) Not being a fan of Google and Microsoft, I switched my OS and browser since end of Win7 to KDE Plasma Neon with Firefox, which allowed me to use all those lovely extensions that comes readily available with Firefox.. Enter Enhancer for RUclips, which comes with a lot of abilities highlighted in this episode..Not mentioning Return YT Dislikes, another extension pointing out this video has only 4 dislikes as opposed to 2.3K likes. Then there's Adblocker Ultimate to remove all those pesky ads souring my viewing experience. Now, as a pensioner living on the bare necessary, and thus using an OLD laptop I spruced up with more RAM and a SSD, I still enjoy an acceptable experience using these mentioned software, and even with Windows 11 23H2 (Installed with the necessary workarounds) works just fine here. As far as smartphones concerned, yes, I use the same tactics there but since I'm also a tech dinosaur, which means I'm OLD as well, I prefer working with bigger screens, as smartphones kills my poor old eyes.. 🙂
Not only did you mention nearly every feature I have wished for to come back and wished for since forever, you added features that I never knew I needed ! Your proof of concept is amazingly great and well presented. Quality of Life features like yours are what make a platform the best they could be. I wish the RUclips team sees this video and takes action to improve the platform by working with you along with users, together. Because let's be serious, what you proposed should have been the default since a long time ago... Especially since RUclips, Google and Alphabet are MULTI-BILLION dollar companies. I always enjoy your redesign videos because they represent what the users want and need. Thank you for your work !
Adding the search into the mobile navigation bar, and the addition of homepage filters are honestly the biggest takeaways youtube needs to implement. Fantastic video! Love seeing your attention to detail and how well you implemented our comments into the redesign
I love how she makes a point every time she's redesigning something. I always feel like it's useless to redesign such products but when I watch the whole video, then it makes sense. This is one of the reason why I think you're the best UI/UX designer on youtube.
Subscription feed being organized by date in a timeline is the best idea I never thought of and I need it yesterday. Being able to see at a glance how many videos came up today vs. yesterday made me so happy.
I really like this redesign, one thing I might add is an option to subsicibe to a particular playlist or a particular topic so when something new gets added or if the playlist is updated I get notified which would be Awesome!
RUclips is by far my favorite place to spend time online, and seeing the potential for the experience to be THIS efficient makes me wish RUclips would watch this video and take notes! It might be a stretch, but seeing an overhaul of the creator studio would be really interesting! There's so much data in the advanced analytics, but so much interesting data buried/inaccessibly to most creators who don't know what to look for.
The creator studio needs a lot of help. The old version from 8+ years ago was basic, slow, and unnavigable, but at least I found it powerful. The modern one is also horrendously slow whenever they do additions to the main dashboard and haven’t optimised them yet. That might still be personal bitterness from like 4 years ago, though 😅
oh my god thank youuuuuuu for acknowledging the red turning pink. so many ppl were trying to make me seem insane over noticing the slight hue shift 😭also epic video, always look forward to seeing your input and ideas for these site layouts
I am genuinely amazed at how impressive this redesign is. Sure, your old designs were good too, but this is just soooooo much better than the actual RUclips design.
I love this redesign and wish it was the real thing. Great job! The only thing I would add personally is a pop up in the Subscriptions tab that would show channels you are subscribed to, but haven’t interacted with in X amount of months. I have had this account for years, and my interests have changed within that time. Problem is, it’s so hard and time consuming to go through the list of channel subscriptions and unsubscribe from each one manually, so I just haven’t done it, making the problem worse. They could have basically the same concept of that pop up in Subscriptions, but inversely make it for channels that you are subscribed to, but haven’t uploaded in X amount of months (I’d think 6). Thus allowing you to weed out the inactive channels easier as well!
10:30 You're so real for this, I've always hated how timed comments would often show up and straight up spoil something I haven't even begun watching. I prefer option B, as it's like a hook into what the people have to say of the video, and entices curiosity to look further
However the most annoying thing about option B (which I prefer over A too) wasn't addressed in this redesign - why tf is there no way to automatically go to the comment which was "hinted"? That's the stupidest thing about them, sometimes you have to scroll for a full minute to find and read the rest of the comment which was literally shown to you!
As a RUclips user for over a decade, I have never used any of the Explore options. Neat redesign of everything here, though - even if a bunch of people would definitely get mad, because they would for anything.
Yeah same lol, I feel like there are two types of yt watcher, those who _religiously_ use subscriptions and the subs feed, and those who use everything else (either home/explore tabs, etc)
It really *could* look like this if anyone at HQ cared, but the modern RUclips UI was probably all just conceived through A/B testing to maximize engagement and watch time over usability. This is why so many features have been removed over the years like 0-5 star ratings, annotations, video categories, direct messages, community captions, and the dislike counter.
RUclips is in "milk it" mode. The only changes we will ever see going forward are ones that maximize immediate profit. That will continue until eventually RUclips just dies and is taken over by a different platform. However, because they have such an entrenched monopoly on monetization for creators, this death will be very slow and very agonizing, for everyone involved (except the shareholders of course).
yeah same, never used it because it smells like another 'trending' to my brain, that part was weird also at 17:47 she said the cast button wasn't important when it's essentail if you use a smart tv regularly, these are the only cases where actual data from the users would be useful to know instead of making assumptions, the rest of the takes are on point
@@trollocat While she did say that about the cast button, her redesign didn't make the it any harder to reach. The difference is that it has room to breathe and doesn't eat up the space of the search bar and filters because they've been moved down a row
But Revanced is limited to activating or deactivating features that have already been implemented by Google. They're like game modders and do not have access to the codebase, which makes it impossible to make such changes.
I am a big fan of your redesigns in general, but I think this one is by far my favorite one yet (maybe because I use RUclips the most idk). The comments, personalization, and general organization in this redesign are all things RUclips desperately needs
Your redesign is just perfect. I love organizing stuff a bit too much and nothing would make me happier than to have this level of control over things. You also showed me so many aspects that give programmers and designers proper perspective on how to make UI/UX. Thanks!
It's not added on purpose. RUclips wants the algorithm to keep you engaged, not for you to quickly drop in watch a few specific videos and leave. Same reason search is useless now. They don't want or need to find the video you're looking for; just to find anything that you'll watch.
A lot of work, but much of it could be implemented as a browser extension. Would be awesome if we got something like this redesign made by a few dedicated web designers if RUclips won't do it officially
it can be done by a few dedicated devs, but youtube will just bring another update that will break all of that hard work, why will anyone do it and why ?
@@CalamityFrost da, prin aplicarea unui css peste cel al youtubeului, poti sa faci asta si tu cu tampermonkey care aplica un script de JS peste un site, si ii cauti elementele si le modifici stilul
it's kind of a strange feeling seeing some of these changes and remembering for the first time in years that some of this is literally just how youtube USED to function. it is crazy how much the design of the platform has regressed in recent years for seemingly no reason. amazing video as always
Not for no reason. Stuff like recommendations in search and hidden dislikes were changed because they work with increasing "engagement" and "watch time". Sure, not for everyone, but for most people. They want to keep you on platform as long as possible to keep you watching ads.
Yeah, the latest redesign (removal of Channel and About tabs and moving the view count and upload date into the (ugly) description box) was BY FAR the worst ever imo. I dont like the design in general, but I´m not a fan of the Material You Design language in general, apart from the UI of the Pixel phones (which proves that its not a good design for desktop, but thats a whole other story :D)
I have 2 suggestions: Add a "Sort by Least Popular" feature for channels, to see people's Least viewed stuff. And a "Sort by Oldest" feature for videos' comment section.
The "tv mode" is something I've been wanting for years on youtube. I wish streaming services would do it as well, can you imagine how nice it would be if disney plus or netflex had curated "channels" or "stations" that you could play and it would essentially choose random episodes from shows you like and make line ups for you, or combine similar shows and movies etc. I know audio play is a thing on both youtube and streaming platforms, but I don't want random movie marathons on disney plus, and I don't want random recommended videos on youtube. Imagine if you could make a "channel" out of your subscription collection feature. That would be amazing, and it's another way youtube could introduce ads in a more "accepted" and "tolerable" way (same applies to streaming services).
@@Not_merathe gaming section too. It's splintered between two subcategories which makes sense for music, but a system where you can choose what details the recap should expand upon would be greatly appreciated
@@flatbread_clip We actively try to because it sucked. It was the least personal a recap could get, they alienated many communities by bringing in many content creaters a large portion of people never heard about. This isn't about those content creators, everyone deserves to get on there but it's just that the platform is too big to celebrate it as one community. It's a much better option IMO to celebrate it based on what you watched and what categories/communities your viewer behavior falls into.
I personally use a combo of the extentions RUclips Redux and Enchancer for youtube which have a ton of customization to youtube, a fair bit of it having quality of life features, RUclips's UI in every way devolves with pretty much every update seemingly Amazing redesign overall!! i love it i wish this was just...done by youtube and then just left ALONE dont try to fix whats not broken
I Swear This Is The Most Beautiful UI Design I Have Seen So Far, RUclips Takes a lot of time in day to day life, And The Collections Tab Will Be Game Changer Who Watches Multiple Reviewers
You not only fixed it. We don't need another design again after this 5/5 video. Great job and here's hoping that RUclips implements every single one of these changes you showcased
10:55 One key change that's still missing is for channels to be able to define multiple custom "feeds" that you can opt into/out of separately. Right now, creators with multiple types of content have to make multiple channels to avoid killing engagement when viewers of one type of content don't watch another. But that's terrible for discoverability, so many still don't, and then users get their subscriptions flooded with videos they don't want to watch unless they unsubscribe from the entire channel. Since channel feeds would replace multiple channels, I think it makes sense to give each feed its own channel-like page and turn the main channel page into a central hub for all of the feeds.
Juxtopposted: Fixing all the problems in RUclips layout. RUclips: So, did you meant hype, ads on pause and autogenerated creators response? ;) (This video was incredible, it fixed things i didn't even thought that could be fixed in RUclips)
I really hate when they recommend shorts on the video feed, keep a different section, whenever I'm watching a video and a short section in there as suggestion, I hate that so much.
Should've been a separate domain/app altogether. There is a ton of people with zero interest in short videos. But it's clear why it is how it is from the business perspective.
@@bosch5303 I used vanced for a long time but nowadays I prefer to use youtube client applications, because vanced used a bit more battery, although not it's not a big problem and still a good option nevertheless.
8:36 - it's possible that I'm getting old and blind, but I do actually prefer having the profile icons instead of just colours. This also helps ppl with daltonism, since colours pulled from pictures will the whole rainbow, and avatars at least have some shapes in them. I personally am always very confused by Twitch chat, its a chaos - mostly because of the fact there is nothing breaking up the space there, its just a wall of text. Profile icons/avatars is why I prefer to watch streams on YT.
@morganisapro8k oh yeah, 100% Generally, we have those for a reason. Twitch IMO has a different approach, where chat is just this giant hive mind, individual people don't really matter, and we should focus on the stream. YT feels a bit more focused on the comments/chat.
8:17 maybe it's can be a personlized feature cause maybe some ppl (like me) actually like the pfp on the livechat (especially if some user have the same color name it'll be harder to find). But overall, this is a good design lol
So far, the best redesign project i've see! I would love if youtube would be like your design, i mean, it's so smart and pleasing. Btw, i love you voice
18:48 kinda one of the best ideas of this video. How have they not used the rewind branding for the end of year recaps? Also they should do them for youtube in general, not only for gaming and music
Hey under appreciated employee at RUclips watching this! Want to be loved by all the users? Make sure these concepts are heard, seen, and implemented please and thanks! 🙏🏻 We would highly appreciate this and love you!
Love these ideas! Can't believe some of these basic UX things like not being able to watch a video while reading comments have just never been solved by YT themselves
This is a god tier redesign, so many important things streamlined so well! Would love to see a little more of the old youtube color and charm come back as well, or ways to personalize your channel/ descriptions more with colors, gradients, banners, etc. imagine having your channel be as expressive as your videos (bandcamp is a great example of this!)
They aren't going to. Google is not a software development company (like they pretend they are) they're an advertisement company. Why would they let people choose what they're advertised? That'd defeat the whole purpose of advertisement. I'm not against advertisement whatsoever, this 'merica, but I do wish they'd actually let people turn off personalized ads and videos. And I think they should make "not interested" actually remove videos in that category from their history, making it actually functional.
Making the video sticky while reading the comments + getting the quality option out of the mini menu is such a quality of life changes I'm desperate for
This is absolutely amazing! The design is so clean and user-friendly, it really feels like the perfect evolution of RUclips's UI. I wish RUclips would actually implement something like this. It would be such a game-changer! Great job, truly impressive work! 👏
Being able to have “Friends” on RUclips was a thing at one point in its very early days up until around 2011ish I wanna say. Use to be able to send people messages/mail, it was nice
I really like that you are trying to maintain RUclips with the MUI theme, it makes all google products align so much nicer! I've personally started to like MUI quite a lot, and I still don't understand why youtube doesn't have it.
9:55 The new mini player is the BEST thing RUclips has changed in a while, so that's the thing that shouldn't be changed (because now I get to add other videos to playlists without exiting the video I'm watching) If you want to close just hold the mini player and swipe down. Easy and simple. (This is for mobile btw)
@hanmira not really, no (in a specific but common case for me) (._.) If you're referring to adding videos to playlists was possible while the old mini player was here, yes, you could, the problem was that if you were adding videos from a playlist (that isn't yours and you don't want/care about all the videos in it) to yours, with the old mini player, you couldn't add the last video of the playlist without exiting the video you were watching. It seems like it's a very specific problem that wouldn't happen a lot, but, at least to me, it happened on a daily basis. I was so glad when they finally made the mini player able to move, because now I can get that last video while still watching the video I want (idk if I have it public, but I have a playlist that is essentially a "watch later" but made by me, so it'll appear in portuguese, and it has over 400 videos there... so yeah, that feature was incredibly helpful to me :D) (pardon me for any errors, english is my 2nd language)
So true I love the new mini player. Now you can finally watch a video and do other thing. Before you really didn't saw the video bc of the little video frame.
All of your redesigns are amazing. I just wish that someone could actually make them (like with a Chrome extension or something), or if the companies would watch these videos and fix some of the things you've mentioned.
Yeah this is incredible. But I bet the reason they don't do it is because if they change one thing, it may have an effect on some outdated, hidden but highly necessary code.
Sooooo what do you think? Is this YOUR Tube?

That was so damned impressive! All made perfect sense from all aspects and all sides. God, I wish they'd see this and hire you.
DUDE. this video speaks for all of us. @youtube, WE NEED THIS🎉
I smiled throughout the entire VIDEO, i was internally and externally screaming YES to everything you did and said. thank you.
it's kind of a strange feeling seeing some of these changes and remembering for the first time in years that some of this is literally just how youtube USED to function. it is crazy how much the design of the platform has regressed in recent years for seemingly no reason. amazing video as always
Not for no reason. Stuff like recommendations in search and hidden dislikes were changed because they work with increasing "engagement" and "watch time".
Sure, not for everyone, but for most people.
They want to keep you on platform as long as possible to keep you watching ads.
Yeah, the latest redesign (removal of Channel and About tabs and moving the view count and upload date into the (ugly) description box) was BY FAR the worst ever imo. I dont like the design in general, but I´m not a fan of the Material You Design language in general, apart from the UI of the Pixel phones (which proves that its not a good design for desktop, but thats a whole other story :D)
Those new subscriptions and playlists pages are just **chef’s kiss**
You are brilliant! You need to be hired by youtube, spotify, and everyone else you've covered.
I have 2 suggestions:
Add a "Sort by Least Popular" feature for channels, to see people's Least viewed stuff.
And a "Sort by Oldest" feature for videos' comment section.
I love how you put HowToBasic in the Gaming collection
The "tv mode" is something I've been wanting for years on youtube. I wish streaming services would do it as well, can you imagine how nice it would be if disney plus or netflex had curated "channels" or "stations" that you could play and it would essentially choose random episodes from shows you like and make line ups for you, or combine similar shows and movies etc. I know audio play is a thing on both youtube and streaming platforms, but I don't want random movie marathons on disney plus, and I don't want random recommended videos on youtube. Imagine if you could make a "channel" out of your subscription collection feature. That would be amazing, and it's another way youtube could introduce ads in a more "accepted" and "tolerable" way (same applies to streaming services).
WAITTT RUclips pulling a Spotify with RUclips Rewind would actually be INGENIOUS!!! that was so slick omggg i love the concept!!
It isn't even that out there. Yt music already does it
@@Not_merathe gaming section too. It's splintered between two subcategories which makes sense for music, but a system where you can choose what details the recap should expand upon would be greatly appreciated
Did everyone just forget about RUclips Rewind fr?
@@flatbread_clip We actively try to because it sucked. It was the least personal a recap could get, they alienated many communities by bringing in many content creaters a large portion of people never heard about. This isn't about those content creators, everyone deserves to get on there but it's just that the platform is too big to celebrate it as one community. It's a much better option IMO to celebrate it based on what you watched and what categories/communities your viewer behavior falls into.
I personally use a combo of the extentions RUclips Redux and Enchancer for youtube which have a ton of customization to youtube, a fair bit of it having quality of life features, RUclips's UI in every way devolves with pretty much every update seemingly
Amazing redesign overall!! i love it
i wish this was just...done by youtube and then just left ALONE
dont try to fix whats not broken
try vorapis 2013 instead (try the startube script for it if you dont like its layout), you might like it
I Swear This Is The Most Beautiful UI Design I Have Seen So Far, RUclips Takes a lot of time in day to day life, And The Collections Tab Will Be Game Changer Who Watches Multiple Reviewers
You not only fixed it. We don't need another design again after this 5/5 video. Great job and here's hoping that RUclips implements every single one of these changes you showcased
10:55 One key change that's still missing is for channels to be able to define multiple custom "feeds" that you can opt into/out of separately.
Right now, creators with multiple types of content have to make multiple channels to avoid killing engagement when viewers of one type of content don't watch another.
But that's terrible for discoverability, so many still don't, and then users get their subscriptions flooded with videos they don't want to watch unless they unsubscribe from the entire channel.
Since channel feeds would replace multiple channels, I think it makes sense to give each feed its own channel-like page and turn the main channel page into a central hub for all of the feeds.
Juxtopposted: Fixing all the problems in RUclips layout.
RUclips: So, did you meant hype, ads on pause and autogenerated creators response? ;)
(This video was incredible, it fixed things i didn't even thought that could be fixed in RUclips)
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR AND SOMETHING NOW.
I'm finally feeling complete...
This is excellent UX work!
I really hate when they recommend shorts on the video feed, keep a different section, whenever I'm watching a video and a short section in there as suggestion, I hate that so much.
yeah but that leads to more engagement
Should've been a separate domain/app altogether. There is a ton of people with zero interest in short videos. But it's clear why it is how it is from the business perspective.
Unhooked plugin for browser and revanced for mobile :)
@oppressor5599 @ivanjermakov indeed, that's true. I really hate those 1 minute videos, they are mostly filled with cringe stuff.
@@bosch5303 I used vanced for a long time but nowadays I prefer to use youtube client applications, because vanced used a bit more battery, although not it's not a big problem and still a good option nevertheless.
8:36 - it's possible that I'm getting old and blind, but I do actually prefer having the profile icons instead of just colours. This also helps ppl with daltonism, since colours pulled from pictures will the whole rainbow, and avatars at least have some shapes in them. I personally am always very confused by Twitch chat, its a chaos - mostly because of the fact there is nothing breaking up the space there, its just a wall of text. Profile icons/avatars is why I prefer to watch streams on YT.
also, it makes it so much easier to recognise someone
@morganisapro8k oh yeah, 100% Generally, we have those for a reason. Twitch IMO has a different approach, where chat is just this giant hive mind, individual people don't really matter, and we should focus on the stream. YT feels a bit more focused on the comments/chat.
8:17 maybe it's can be a personlized feature cause maybe some ppl (like me) actually like the pfp on the livechat (especially if some user have the same color name it'll be harder to find).
But overall, this is a good design lol
So far, the best redesign project i've see! I would love if youtube would be like your design, i mean, it's so smart and pleasing. Btw, i love you voice
I've been on RUclips since 2005 and nothing compares to this design. This is so USEFUL.
10:40 the way she removed the comment section😭
ACCUSATIONS.
ugh, spoilers!
😝
I've been waiting for this!
:-)
This redesign is absolutely brilliant!
18:48 kinda one of the best ideas of this video. How have they not used the rewind branding for the end of year recaps?
Also they should do them for youtube in general, not only for gaming and music
Hey under appreciated employee at RUclips watching this! Want to be loved by all the users? Make sure these concepts are heard, seen, and implemented please and thanks! 🙏🏻 We would highly appreciate this and love you!
Love these ideas! Can't believe some of these basic UX things like not being able to watch a video while reading comments have just never been solved by YT themselves
that's a debatable thing i guess.
You don't need to simultaneously look at the comments AND the video, just either one.
I've been waiting for this! 🎉
Btw your videos are amazing, you're an amazing designer, you just think of everything.
Yet another video that is going to leave me sad that the real product isn't like your version :(
Love the changes, and it was nice seeing
As another UX/UI Designer and Developer, you did a FANTASTIC job here! Really nothing I could even dream of adding!
This is a god tier redesign, so many important things streamlined so well! Would love to see a little more of the old youtube color and charm come back as well, or ways to personalize your channel/ descriptions more with colors, gradients, banners, etc. imagine having your channel be as expressive as your videos (bandcamp is a great example of this!)
This video is really good. You bring up aspects of design I dont realise. It makes me realize how inefficient RUclips's layout really is.
I need the collections feature!!! Banging redesign as always
7:47 what about "Oldest first"?
I just want to say that your channel is GODLY MAGNIFICENT. THANK YOU for existing
I almost cried at your pitch at the end
5:00 please youtube
They aren't going to. Google is not a software development company (like they pretend they are) they're an advertisement company. Why would they let people choose what they're advertised? That'd defeat the whole purpose of advertisement. I'm not against advertisement whatsoever, this 'merica, but I do wish they'd actually let people turn off personalized ads and videos. And I think they should make "not interested" actually remove videos in that category from their history, making it actually functional.
So basically:
- Comment section -> Reddit
- Live comments -> Twitch
- Subscriptions -> Pinterest
- Shorts -> RUclips
BRO having subscription videos on a timeline is genius 😭
Making the video sticky while reading the comments + getting the quality option out of the mini menu
is such a quality of life changes I'm desperate for
This is absolutely amazing! The design is so clean and user-friendly, it really feels like the perfect evolution of RUclips's UI. I wish RUclips would actually implement something like this. It would be such a game-changer! Great job, truly impressive work! 👏
Being able to have “Friends” on RUclips was a thing at one point in its very early days up until around 2011ish I wanna say. Use to be able to send people messages/mail, it was nice
0:06 So glad to see Man Carrying Thing up there. The absolute miss, he never legends!
MAKE. THIS. A. BROWSER. EXTENSION
yes!
Okay. I'm fully convinced. I've got your back forever and no matter what you say next I'm backing it 100%.
I really like that you are trying to maintain RUclips with the MUI theme, it makes all google products align so much nicer! I've personally started to like MUI quite a lot, and I still don't understand why youtube doesn't have it.
18:00 RUclips already had a feature like this it was called "RUclips Leanback" but they killed it off around 10 years ago
RUclips needs to hire Juxtopposed 🎉🎉
That horse video is so good not gonna lie 15:03
Dude, just imagine this person making an entire UI for a rhythm game
oh geez this is perfection :D not only your idea but you channel as well.
you have one subscriber here.
4:48 love the "how a cat works"
3:22 RUclips on iOS did this for awhile, and reverted the change as soon as I had gotten used to it.
When?
9:55 The new mini player is the BEST thing RUclips has changed in a while, so that's the thing that shouldn't be changed (because now I get to add other videos to playlists without exiting the video I'm watching) If you want to close just hold the mini player and swipe down. Easy and simple. (This is for mobile btw)
But you could do that before also?
@hanmira not really, no (in a specific but common case for me) (._.)
If you're referring to adding videos to playlists was possible while the old mini player was here, yes, you could, the problem was that if you were adding videos from a playlist (that isn't yours and you don't want/care about all the videos in it) to yours, with the old mini player, you couldn't add the last video of the playlist without exiting the video you were watching. It seems like it's a very specific problem that wouldn't happen a lot, but, at least to me, it happened on a daily basis. I was so glad when they finally made the mini player able to move, because now I can get that last video while still watching the video I want (idk if I have it public, but I have a playlist that is essentially a "watch later" but made by me, so it'll appear in portuguese, and it has over 400 videos there... so yeah, that feature was incredibly helpful to me :D) (pardon me for any errors, english is my 2nd language)
So true I love the new mini player. Now you can finally watch a video and do other thing. Before you really didn't saw the video bc of the little video frame.
all of this is actually so smart. the editing is great and everything is well thought through.
All of your redesigns are amazing. I just wish that someone could actually make them (like with a Chrome extension or something), or if the companies would watch these videos and fix some of the things you've mentioned.
4:37 naaah youtube will never do this. Like seriously not a chance.
RUclips SHOULD PAY YOU TO MAKE THIS REAL OMFG
Yeah this is incredible. But I bet the reason they don't do it is because if they change one thing, it may have an effect on some outdated, hidden but highly necessary code.
I hope a plugin gets made for youtube and it remakes the entire UI and looks like the UI you created..
Works with design and watches Dave2D. Juxtopposed really does have a good eye.
I love every one of your redesign videos.
