The existing README was incomplete — missing a title, installation instructions, and any explanation of how the code works internally. The problem statement requested a concise, plain-text summary covering code logic, usage, applicability, ownership, and a link to the repo owner's GitHub profile.

Changes

  • README.md — fully rewritten with the following sections:
    • What It Does — per-tool description of user flow for all three utilities (video downloader, user ID finder, video details lookup)
    • How It Works — internal logic: subprocess + yt-dlp, requests + regex for user ID extraction, json for metadata parsing, colorama/pyfiglet for terminal UI
    • Requirements — explicit pip install commands for all four dependencies
    • How to Use — numbered steps with a worked example for each tool
    • Where to Use It — Linux/macOS/Windows terminal, local only, no server
    • Why Use It — Facebook exposes no public API for these operations; tool automates browser-level actions from the CLI
    • Owner — EIRSVi (script author); shiliaiwei (repo maintainer) with profile link https://github.com/shiliaiwei
    • Disclaimer — educational use, user responsible for ToS compliance

The example download location uses the Unix-style "~/Videos/" path, but the README also claims Windows support. Consider making the example path platform-neutral (e.g., "your home Videos folder") or include the Windows equivalent (like "%USERPROFILE%\Videos").

Suggested change
- The downloaded file appears in ~/Videos/
- The downloaded file appears in the Videos folder in your home directory (for example, ~/Videos/ on Linux/macOS or %USERPROFILE%\Videos on Windows)
