Hello Simone,

I have helped them in translating the app years ago, and don't know where the app is hosted now, will get in touch with them to get the details.

Best, Hanna.

Ah, cool, I didn't know about it!

Yes, I agree!

Possibly. To provide a more precise answer it would help:

- to know whether the sources are available somewhere (I spent only a
couple of minutes on the site and didn't find a "sources" tab and
couldn't also find anything related on github by quickly googling)

- to know whether the tests are specified somewhere (even without
sources, with a good specification, we can re-implement it)

As I said, I did a quick search but did not find information on that on
the website. Either I was too quick or it's not obvious.

Do you know where we can find that info?

Nice! I wonder, for example, how YouTube test is implemented, i.e. do
they connect directly to YouTube servers or use another strategy?

Thank you,

Simone
