### Problem Description

As someone who uses FreeTube for general YouTube browsing, and TubeArchivist (https://github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist) for archiving videos I want to watch later / back up etc, it would be great to have an integration between the two.

### Proposed Solution

How this could work, if integration was enabled in FreeTube:

- At a basic level, having a download button on videos which sent the download instruction to TubeArchivist would be great
- Subscriptions could perhaps also be optionally be synced between the two (so when subscribing on FreeTube this synced the subscription on TubeArchivist also)

### Alternatives Considered

At present alternative is to copy the video or channel URL from FreeTube, and manually paste it into TubeArchivist web interface to trigger download or subscribe.
