It really is fucking stupid that PiP on the YouTube iOS app just doesn’t work if YouTube thinks the video you’re watching is “music” because I guess they want you to use YT Music? Even tho I have Premium already? Baffling.

I mostly expect ppl will interact with the website from the bot's links, but that's fair.

No sorting yet, but there is a search page (https://macthemes.garden/search/) that also searches authors as well as an authors page (https://macthemes.garden/authors/). I may have to cave and do *some* server-rendering because this feels a bit too much to statically generate 😅
