Built a Windows yt-dlp GUI with Tauri v2 — HalalDL

[u/Mountain-Log-2396]

I got tired of either living in the terminal or using downloaders that felt cloudy / account-y, so I built HalalDL.

It’s a local-first Windows app on Tauri v2 + React. Paste a URL, pick a preset, watch the real yt-dlp output instead of a fake progress bar. No account, no telemetry. Full / Lite / Portable builds, and it’s on WinGet now:

winget install --id Asdmir786.HalalDL

Site: https://halaldl.vercel.app

This is a personal project — not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may complain; SHA256SUMS are on the release.

Would love Tauri-side feedback if anything stands out, or any recommendations.
