Controlling YouTube with my fucking iPhone because Google is useless.

Tags = [ Remote Control, Big Tech, Python, Idea ]

In 2025, I got really pissed off because, if I watch YouTube, Netflix, or other milking services from my Mac, I can’t control them from my fucking iPhone that cost 1600€, with which I could go to the fucking moon thanks to its computing power.

I’m triggered about this. The big tech companies don’t provide such a simple and useful feature.

So, let’s do it with Python.

Web Server

We have a few gestures:

  1. Move around
  2. Scroll (even if it’s a bit buggy)
  3. Zoom, obv It’s buggy as fuck.
  4. Single click
  5. Double click
  6. Left click
  7. We can type text

Finally, when I’m in bed with my Marla in Russian salad style , we don’t have to get up like assholes.
