first, huge thanks for cobalt—it's been super reliable for grabbing publicly available content from all sorts of platforms. i'd love to suggest adding support for coub.com, which is:
completely publicly accessible (all content is available without logins)
free (no paywalls or premium content)
DRM-free (just good ol' web videos)
why coub needs love
official download option? lol no - coub doesn't provide one
third-party solutions? let me tell you a cautionary tale...
the rise and fall of mycoub.ru:
back in its golden era, mycoub.ru was perfect:
clean interface
direct "audio + video" downloads
no nonsense
then came the dark times:
first they removed the download buttons
then became an ad-infested extension pusher
their chrome extension:
lacks the merge modes we want
demands suspicious permissions
basically acts like spyware (tracking, ads, redirects)
now it's just a shell of its former self, and we're left without a good alternative.
what would be amazing
could cobalt add these optional download modes?
audio + video - full audio first, then merge with video (classic mycoub style)
video + audio - full video first, then overlay audio
this would be:
100% within cobalt's scope (public, free, non-DRM content)
a safer alternative to shady extensions
a return to the golden age of coub downloads
plus, coub is still super popular for:
meme content
music snippets
creative looping videos
would be happy to help test or provide examples if needed! this would make the coub community so happy.
link samples
### link samples & regex
should recognize:
- regular: `https://coub.com/view/47tj88`
- shared: `https://coub.com/v/47tj88`
- mobile: `https://m.coub.com/view/47tj88`
- embed: `https://coub.com/embed/47tj88`
- stories: `https://coub.com/stories/5083967-bookmarki-ch-2` (extracts just 5083967)
optimized regex pattern:
^https?://(?:m\.)?coub\.com/(?:view|v|embed)/([a-z0-9]+)|stories/(\d+)
### key improvements
1. **clean story extraction** - only captures numeric ID after /stories/
2. **two capture groups**:
- Group 1: video IDs (47tj88)
- Group 2: story IDs (5083967)
3. **more efficient** - uses alternation instead of optional slug matching
### example matches:
- `https://coub.com/stories/5083967-bookmarki-ch-2` → 5083967
- `https://coub.com/view/47tj88` → 47tj88
- `https://m.coub.com/embed/abc123` → abc123
