+# kashire's youtube query
+
+kyq searches on youtube so you don't have to.
+I only made it because I hate opening youtube
+to find videos to watch on my desktop.
+
+## how to use
+`./kyq -h` for help
+`./kyq -q [query]` for searching.
+After searching just run it through your favorite video player.
+`mpv $url`
+
+You could also use the python script:
+`python kyq.py $query` -- No help feature here.
+
+
+## Speed difference
+not the reason I made it but it's interesting to note
+![speed_comparison.png](speed_comparison.png)
+
+## Dependencies
+* none for the shell script
+* bs4 for the python script.
