Preflight Checklist

I use the latest version of YouTube Music (Application).
I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Problem Description

Currently, the app lacks the ability to add custom websites, such as noise blockers that provide soothing background sounds for focused work.
Although focus playlists are also available on YouTube Music but the recommendations are distracting.

Proposed Solution

Introduce a plugin or inbuilt app feature that allows users to open custom websites directly within the music player. This feature would load the entire website in the player, enabling users to access noise blockers or other focus-oriented audio sources without leaving the app.
For eg. This website offers tracks and has inbuilt player options.

Alternatives Considered

Can allow support for directly playing track on a specified URL. The user can access all saved URLs from a "Bookmarked Links" page.

Additional Information

Technically you can load other websites, but that's not intentional.

How ? I looked around but didn't find any plugin/setting to achieve this.

it's not a plugin/setting, it's more like a side-effect of this being a wrapper around the youtube music website

I don't really see the reason anyone would do this over straight up using chrome/firefox.

I looked around and believe a simple "Open URL" option here can achieve the desired functionality with minimal changes.

You're right. Generally someone will prefer a browser. However, having a dedicated app to only drown out noise helps to avoid distractions for focussed work. Also handy if the browser is not running already and the website will be the only tab in browser.

If you want a dedicated app for any website, you can use Pake to create one.

https://github.com/tw93/Pake

PS: The first time takes quite a while because it is building a bunch of rust crates.

You can probably make a fork and run a CI for the websites you want.

Thanks for the revert. Yes, I'm aware that website can be converted to a standalone app.
Infact I'd done it earlier. But the usecase here I was aiming at is a single app for the background noise/music which this project already is. And within that n websites can support the end content.
