Hi.
What do you think about the idea to add a simple .bash_aliases example in the README.md Usage section?
Im afraid some users might struggle figuring out how to run it.

As for example. Something like this should be pretty straightforward:

alias ytlo="cd ~/.local/bin/youtube-local-2.8.5/ && python3 server.py | (sleep 1;flatpak run org.netsurf_browser.NetSurf http://localhost:8080/)"

Anyhow, Thanks for your project youtube-local.

I think a better way of running it would be creating a python virtual environment and then running it from there so it would look like this

first launch

cd youtube-local
python -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python server.py

then once you wanna reactivate it you'll simply have to just source and start the server

cd youtube-local
source env/bin/activate
python server.py

I think making a virtual environment is the universal method

I agree; A line or two explaining server.py (it's explained in HACKING.md) and a few suggestions of quick and simple ways to run it would be nice to have in the main README.md. Advanced users may know what to do and have each their own ideas, but not everyone is advanced hackor
