Youtube-Layer ( Introduction)
What is Youtube-Layer ?
Youtube-Layer ( YT-Layer ) is a software service which provides youtubers and editors to maintain their youtube channel efficently. It allows youtubers and editors to have more controlled uploads on youtube channel.
The Problem ๐ค
The typical YouTuber-editor lifecycle looks something like this:

Editor sends updated version to YouTuber ๐ค
If approved, YouTuber uploads to YouTube channel ๐บ

YouTubers with millions of subscribers are often too busy to constantly review videos or suggest changes โฐ
Travel or poor network conditions can hinder communication ๐๐
Constant uploading and downloading of large video files is time-consuming and bandwidth-intensive ๐ข
