CastSponsorSkip: A lighter Google Cast sponsor skip written in Go (github.com)

Hi everyone! I've been using sponsorblockcast for a while (which is a great project), but I always wished it was written in Go. The go-chromecast library that it uses is written in Go, so a Go app could connect to all devices within a single process instead of creating child processes for every device. I finally decided to spend some time writing my own, called CastSponsorSkip. All of the features of sponsorblockcast are re-implemented in Go, plus some additional privacy features. I wrote a comparison if anybody is curious!

Hello, sponsorblockcast creator here! Happy to finally see a Go implementation, great work! I ended up writing a short blog post summarising the history of the SponsorBlock clients for Chromecasts.

Best of luck in your continued development!

Hey! I love the post and the ASCII theme of your site. I just want to say, thanks for all of the work you did on sponsorblockcast. It was a great tool that I happily used for a long time.

Thank you!
