NickvisionApps/Parabolic

Parabolic is a cross-platform desktop application for downloading and managing media content, supporting both Windows (WinUI) and Linux/GNOME environments. It provides a unified backend for handling downloads, history, and configuration, while offering native user interfaces for each platform. The system integrates with external tools like yt-dlp and Deno to process media, with additional features including browser extensions and multi-language support.

The project was completely restructured and renamed to Parabolic, replacing the original Avalonia-based implementation with native WinUI and GNOME/Adwaita frameworks. This period established the new cross-platform architecture, including shared code, platform-specific UIs, and comprehensive internationalization support.
