YouTube Video Analyzer Chrome Extension

Description

YouTube-Sort-By-Likes is a Chrome extension that lets you see the most liked and highest like:view ratio videos within a YouTube channel

It provides two functionalities:

1. A UI button that allows sorting the list of videos by "most liked" and "highest like ratio". (still to be implemented!)
2. Display the names of the videos which have the highest like to view ratio and are the most liked through a popup when you click the extension.

Please note that the first functionality is still in development.

TODO

• Add instructions for bringing your own YouTube API key, and make adding it easy
• Update README with the extension in action
• Consider making a website version! This would make it easy to use on mobile:)
