Apple’sVision Pro headsetis set to resign for consumer today , butYouTube is not currently building a dedicated app for the machine . To occupy that void , Christian Selig , the developer whomade Apollo for Redditclient , has madea Vision Pro app for YouTube called Juno .
The app costs $ 5 for a one - clip leverage and does n’t have any recurring revenue model . Selig said onhis blogthat the app apply YouTube ’s embed API , which essentially loads telecasting in a web horizon and render controls for playback .
The Juno app allows features like resizable windows , pinch drag to scratch through the video , twofold jot on sides to move the television forward or back by 10 seconds and dim surroundings to focus on the video recording .
The idea about developing bulge out last month when Seligposted on Xthat he wanted to develop a wrap app for YouTube native to Vision Pro because he drop a flock of meter on the service .
To be light I consider YouTube ’s API is even worse than Reddit ’s , so it ’d be just a quick and dirty wrapper around the website , but it ’d be better than nothing peradventure ? I dunno I ’m just talking out loud
