Abstract

This thesis describes the development of cross-platform application for over viewing and managing videos uploaded by users to popular website YouTube. In its latest major transformation many changes ocurred. One of the consequences was the problem of users not being alerted about the latest uploaded videos. Our application solves this problem. For users, it provides many options for adjusting their preferences, such as their own selection of channels. Each newly uploaded video is displayed in our application up to one minute after the video was published and users are informed about it in several different ways. Videos can also be viewed directly in the application and then marked as already seen. This thesis describes web technologies that were used when developing our application which runs on Chrome Legacy Packaged Apps and Chrome Packaged Apps platforms. Communication to establish user authorization with his Google account is also described together with explained procedures for using YouTube Data v2 & v3 API, that acquire information about videos. Among the objectives of the thesis was also optimization of CPU time and memory usage. For this we used Chrome DevTools and Closure Compiler. The result is a functioning cross-platform application called YouTube Video Deck.
