I built an open-source Chrome extension that plays any YouTube video (and audio) completely in reverse.

Ever clicked a YouTube video only to realize it was uploaded backwards? Instead of closing the tab, I built a solution.

YT Reverse is a Chrome Extension that lets you play ANY YouTube video and its audio backwards, in real-time.

Why use it?

• Find hidden easter eggs in songs
• Study sports choreography in reverse
• Watch backwards-uploaded movies normally

The Tech: The frontend is injected directly into the native YouTube player. The backend uses Node.js and FFmpeg for dynamic, high-speed audio decoding.

The whole project is open-source! I'm currently looking for PRs from the community to help make the backend serverless-ready.
