Nebulate

If you install this Extension please join the Nebulate Discord to help me test it and provide feedback.

Example of Nebulate highlighting a Nebula video and Thumbnails on YouTube

Nebulate Chrome Extension

The Nebulate Chrome Extension is a simple, easy-to-use tool that makes it easy to find and watch videos from your favorite creators on Nebula, all from within YouTube.

Usage

  • Navigate to YouTube and begin browsing for videos.
  • The extension will automatically detect and highlight Nebula videos, as well as show a "Watch on Nebula" button on YouTube videos that are also available on Nebula.
  • Click the Nebulate rocket button or the thumbnail rocket button on a thumbnail to be redirected to the Nebula version of the video.

Installation

Download the latest release from the Chrome Web Store, other browsers coming soon...

Alternatively, you can install the extension manually by following these steps:

  • Clone this repository to your local machine.
  • In Google Chrome, go to chrome://extensions.
  • Enable "Developer mode" by clicking the toggle in the top-right corner of the page.
  • cd into /extension and run yarn to install dependencies.
  • Run yarn build to build the extension in /extension/dist.
  • Click the "Load unpacked" button and select the /extension/dist folder.
  • The extension should now be installed and enabled.
  • By default the extension will use the official table server, if you want to build your own please see the Nebulate Database section.

Features

  • Shows a "Watch on Nebula" button on YouTube videos that are also available on Nebula, so you can easily switch to watching them there
  • Highlights Nebula videos on YouTube's search, channel, home, featured, and subscription pages, as well as in recommended videos, so you can quickly find them
  • Adds a redirect rocket button to YouTube thumbnails for Nebula videos, so you can jump straight to the Nebula version of the video with just one click
  • Uses a local lookup table that is regularly updated with the latest information from both Nebula and YouTube, so you can be sure you're always seeing the most accurate and up-to-date data

Nebulate Database

The Nebulate Database is a node script that scrapes data from both Nebula and YouTube and builds a local lookup table that is used by the Nebulate Chrome Extension to match videos and show the correct information. It is run automatically on a regular basis to keep the lookup table up-to-date.

At the moment the database is open source but not yet documented. If you would like to contribute to the project please join the Nebulate Discord and I can help you get started.
