• Inspired me to start this project. yt-dlp is a fork project of youtube-dl.
• Since the cookie option of yt-dlp's twitter extractor is not working, I decided to make my own project, using browser automation.

• Microsoft's browser automation module.
• Another major project to made me to start this project. I made up my mind to make TwitterVideoTools to experience playwright.
• It would be so painful to imagine making this project with selenium, but I enjoyed a lot while writing the twitter crawler part thanks to playwright.

• Ever since I started this project, I always wanted to support CLI with typer's awesome development experience.
• TwitterVideoTools' CLI is written with typer, and it is so beautiful and easy to use at the same time.

• These three tools helped me to write fully-typed python code.
• I won't start my python project without these tools.

• I made this template to make my python project development experience better.
  • Safe & Convient development environment
    • Strict type checking
    • Amazing linters & formatters
    • Unit test supported
• This project is also based on this template.
