Measurement ideas
Track completion rate from URL paste to successful download (or honest failure). Segment by device class to see whether url normalization notes changes outcomes on phones vs desktops.
If you publish changelogs, reference guide #847 when you ship related fixes so internal search stays coherent.

Microcopy around the paste field
Placeholder examples with a real-looking (but fake) video ID teach format faster than “Paste URL here.” Rotate examples occasionally when you regenerate with a new seed.
Inline validation that trims whitespace prevents a surprising share of support tickets.
Link rot in reference sections
Official policy URLs change. Quarterly audits of outbound links in your blog reduce 404s that hurt trust and crawl quality.
Archive.org links are a fallback, not a substitute for updating to the current canonical policy page.
Explaining aspect ratio letterboxing
Downloads may include black bars if the source was already pillarboxed. Offer a crop tool only if licensing and ethics allow, and warn about cutting subtitles.
Many viewers prefer original framing for archival honesty.
