+OK, I'm re-writing shelltube.
+It worked, but it was inflexible and total shit.
+Yes, the dream is still POSIX. :)
+Here is a general plan:
+
+./shelltube	Wrapper script for everything else. Slim and simple
+./lib/yts	Searches YT, outputs a comp-friendly list of results
+./lib/ytc	Lists videos on a YT channel/user-page
+./lib/ytd	Downloads/streams a YT video
+./lib/stc	Helps configure shelltube
+./lib/stic	Helps with cli arguments
+./lib/sti	Helps with trapped user input
+
+Planned inputs & details:
+./shelltube
+	shelltube [command(s) to run after startup]
+./lib/yts
+	$ yts query [-o $outfile]
+	* Prints the results in the following format:
+		artist \t name \t length (?) \t ID
+./lib/ytc
+	$ ytc query [-o $outfile]
+	* Prints the results in the following format:
+		name \t length (?) \t ID
+./lib/ytd
+	$ ytd URL||ID [-o $outfile||-s]
+./lib/stc
+	$ stc [-h||--home $homedir]
+	* Just creates/edits $HOME/.config/shelltube
+./lib/stic
+	$ stic "$@" "[[syntax]] shortargf longargf argf
+	* Outputs commandline args to the specified files
+	  for easier parsing
+	* dargf contains args like -c, -o, --config, etc.
+	* argf contains everything else, like 'filename' etc.
+	* [[syntax]] consists of something like this:
+	  "[[(1|1|c|config)(1|0|v|verbose)(0|1|infile)(0|2|outfile)]]"
+	* Does it look terrible painful? Let me show you the anatomy of
+	  one of those listed potential arugments:
+	* In a dashed arg (--config or -c), the syntax is this:
+	  (1|0=no subsequent arg 1=subs. arg|short form|long form)
+	  The "subsequent arg" means like 'file' in "--config file"
+	* In a non-dashed arg (infile or outfile), the syntax is this:
+	  (0|position in input|name)
+	  "Position in input" refers to the position it has in relation
+	  to other non-dashed args.
+	  The "name"
+	
+
+I'm working on stic riggt now. I think it'll really make shelltube (and
+probably any other shell script I'll ever write!) a lot better and more
+usable.
