I made the exact thing I wanted.</p> <h1> Get thumbnails easily </h1> <p>Who needs thumbnails, right? but sometimes you do need them. One day I was telling this thing I made to my friend @thisisdg (Dhruv), and Dhruv jokingly told me to publish an npm package, because many might need it, so thanks to his idea I made this package (still not sure if it works in production)</p> <p>Check it out <a href="https://github.com/dextel2/yt-vimeo-thumbnail">here</a> and <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/yt-vimeo-thumbnail">here</a></p> <p>Try it out <code>npm i yt-vimeo-thumbnail</code> and let me know, how can I improve!</p> <p>So what's next? Well although this is a very basic package, I got to learn a lot of things. I need to get things in order. This is really a hacky project and I get time on weekends only but looking forward to learning new things like this.</p> <p>Let me know in the comment section how did you like the package and what other small packages I can make out of small problems!</p> youtube react typescript javascript
