Paste a link, get the transcript · YouTube Caption Bot devlog

A small local web app: paste a YouTube link and get the whole video as readable text, with a button that copies it.
It uses the captions the creator uploaded when there are any, and YouTube's automatic captions otherwise, and a badge says which one you got.
When a video has no captions at all, it says so plainly instead of failing silently.
Every transcript is kept in a history list with its thumbnail, channel and date, so an old one is a click away; entries can be removed.
A double-click launcher starts it, or just opens the browser if it's already running.
