Implement a timestamp in the library view that shows how much of each video has been watched.

This makes it much easier to keep track of where you are in e.g. a long series. Videos with less than two seconds watched don't show the timestamp.

Nice! Unfortunately I think @rsimmons has abandoned this project and views https://github.com/rsimmons/subadub as its successor.

I'm still using this software but can't yet make use of Subadub as it's not as feature complete as Voracious. Perhaps it is time for a new maintainer or fork?

Are you @chriskempson going to be the person to do that?
Or will @cessen be the one?

Nice! Unfortunately I think @rsimmons has abandoned this project and views https://github.com/rsimmons/subadub as its successor.

Has he actually said that anywhere? I'm not specifically doubting you, it would just be good to get confirmation from him about that if we can before forking.

Perhaps it is time for a new maintainer or fork?

I have a (personal) branch that I'm maintaining at https://github.com/cessen/voracious/tree/my_version that has quite a lot of changes to it (including upgrading to the latest stable electron, and an added feature to color words in subtitles similar to LingQ and the Language Learning with Netflix chrome addon).

I don't have the bandwidth to be the maintainer for a project like this, but if someone does want to start a fork, my personal branch might be a reasonable jumping-off point. If anyone does want to do that, let me know, and I can document all the changes I've made (some of them are trivial and you might want to roll back, like hot key changes).

[EiEiO11490]

@cessen can you make a complete release of your version so i can download it?

[cessen]

@EiEiO11490 I don't have the time or energy to maintain releases of my personal branch. But you're more than welcome to build it yourself. The build instructions in the readme should still work just fine.

Do note, however, that I've only tested it on Linux (since that's what I run). It should work on Windows and OSX as well, but I haven't made 100% sure.

[EiEiO11490]

@cessen I do not know anything about javascript. I am only a noob in C#.
so i would not know how to do anything in the readme.
Can anyone of this be done in Visual studio or Notepad++?

[cessen]

@EiEiO11490 Ah, sorry about that, then. Honestly, unless you run Linux as your OS, I'm not sure how to make a build for you either (I don't have a Windows or OSX computer, and I'm not sure how to cross-build electron apps for them--Javascript isn't really my wheelhouse either).

[chriskempson]

@EiEiO11490 That wont be me, too busy for that sorry but if someone picks this up I'd be interested in contributing to it (time permitting).

@cessen @rsimmons emailed me back in Feb 2019 saying he was "tempted to" drop Voracious and roll the features into Subadub. So technically, I guess it isn't officially dropped but I'll stand by what I said when I wrote I think he has abandoned it 😄
