Companion

Did you know Compy the companion? They are a friendly mini browser to pin on top of any other desktop app and keep doing your things while enjoying a live stream or a youtube video.

⚠️ Disclaimers:

• I've been working in an browser extension to be this app replacement, it was in a very, very early stage: https://github.com/brunurd/easy-pip
• For a full (and more secure) browser experience with the always-on-top feature I recommend use Firefox (it has the picture-in-picture feature built-in).
• At the moments the releases are made manually, I need time to create a proper continous distribution automation routine, follow the instruction on How to Compile if you want a specific version.
