Considering it's a front-end, I'm surprised there are no screenshots of what it actually looks like on their readme.
I just spent way too long playing that… lol, thanks!

There's one other one, but I can't remember it, I'll update this if I can.
You could do your programming theoretically on any laptop, although I'd say faster the better/easier it'll be for you in the long run. In regard to your comment on upgradability I'd recommend taking a look at a Framework laptop where their whole goal is repairability which comes with the added benefit of being upgradable.
How much space do you think you'll need? What type of redundancy systems are you planning to put into place, or even still do you plan to put any redundancy systems in place? Is there a specific reason you'd like to go with an external hard drive over setting up an internal raid array of some sort? Was your plan simply to just have an external drive plugged into your pc through USB or USB-C?
I think these would be my main questions before I could feel comfortable pointing you in any directing, since naming a brand name or specific drive while efficient probably wouldn't be good for you in the long run.
Thanks! While it may just be a manifest, I believe that allowing access no matter how small the project is always a solid option. Who knows, maybe one day a beginner coder may come across this and wonder how to replicate it for their own uses, and while I'm sure there are other sources they could reference having another is always helpful.
Is this up on Github, if not are there any plans to open source the project?
I'm using an Invidious instance.
If I still used YT's main front-end, this would've been great.
I've just caught up on your other comments, and thanks for that proof in one of them. I knew your instance had some issues, but I hadn't realized it had gotten that bad. Best of luck with whatever instance you decide to move to.
You could just subscribe to the Patient Gamers community on whatever instance you move to, you wouldn't need to keep your sh.itjust.works account or anything.
The “official web app” is how people can self-host Lemmy, to access it as a user it's just the website.
