Technical Challenges

  • Cross-platform clipboard access
    Implementing reliable clipboard monitoring across different operating systems while preserving Reaper's responsiveness required careful threading management and API selection.
  • URL format validation and parsing
    Supporting multiple YouTube and SoundCloud URL formats (short links, playlist URLs, timestamp parameters) while ensuring robust error handling for invalid links.

  • 🎯 Real-time Progress Bar: window displaying live download progress
  • 🔄 Non-blocking: REAPER remains responsive during download
  • 🧹 Auto-cleanup: automatic temporary file removal after import
