It's fast, friendly, and doesn't have any bullshit that modern web is filled with: no ads, trackers, or analytics. Paste the link, get the video, move on. It's that simple. Just how it should be.

## cobalt API
cobalt has an open API that you can use for free. It's easy and straightforward to use, [check out the docs](https://github.com/wukko/cobalt/blob/current/docs/API.md) and see for yourself.
## How to contribute translations
You can translate cobalt to any language you want on [cobalt's Crowdin](https://crowdin-co.wukko.me/). Feel free to ignore QA errors if you think you know better. If you don't see a language you want to translate cobalt to, open an issue, and I'll add it to Crowdin.
### Translation guidelines:
- All text is **ALWAYS** stylized as **lowercase** unless it's STRESSED LIKE THIS or is an internal value like `{ContactLink}` or `{appName}`.
- Example: "`this is a live video, i am yet to learn how to look into future. wait for the stream to finish and try again!`".
Notice how **everything is lowercase**, no matter the punctuation marks? Yes, that's cobalt's style and you have to follow it.
- Avoid formal language. Leave it for big and classy tech companies. Use informal language wherever possible.
- Keep translations lively, friendly, and fun. Translate strings as if the user was your buddy.
- You can (and should) rephrase sentences as long as they keep the same sense and send the same message as original.
- You can add wordplays or puns if it feels natural to do so.
- Do **NOT** use offensive or explicit vocabulary.
- Check if there are issues in UI with your localization, and optimize it accordingly. If impossible, open an issue.
- Be nice.
