Any developers interested in making a Lemmy Comments extension for youtube videos? (lemm.ee)

The worst part of youtube is the terrible comments so i use this extension to see reddit comments under youtube videos. It would be great to have a similar extension for Lemmy comments to appear on youtube videos.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/reddit-comments-for-youtube/

the extension would be even more interesting if it could work on any link on the web, allowing you to fetch lemmy threads with that url

It would be an appreciable challenge because the plugin would have to know what server and account to post the comments to. That much said, I think it is a fine idea. On one side of the coin, I'd rather get people over to PeerTube and build that platform up rather than help Google get more un-needed revenue.

The plugin could work across any website so YouTube and PeerTube would both be supported

So it would support Google's proprietary API and ActivityPub? That would work.

It doesnt need to support the google api.

Gab (the nazi fediverse platform) had an extension like this a couple years ago https://github.com/gab-ai-inc/gab-dissenter-extension/
