We've seen this with the Chrome Web Store. With a flat $5 fee, and a limit to how many extensions each account could publish, that was probably pretty effective.
Maybe it would help here too?
What other alternatives could mitigate the problem?
termux-url-opener has been an excellent tool to easily make use of Android's share menu. Taking inspiration from "YouTube-DL the easy way on Android" [1], I made a script that adds a URL to my bookmarks server [2]. It'd be even better to write a script that has some rules or a prompt so that different URLs can be handled differently (e.g. video URLs prompt for download, or there could be a prompt to add the page to archive.org).
I've been working on making "pre-baked recipes" for a while to help with simple tasks like cutting/merging a video [0]. I recently made an npm package for making time lapses with effects from the command line with FFmpeg as well [1].
This isn't a program, but the document shortcuts (mostly the ones beginning with the control key)[0] on OSX have saved me heaps of time while maneuvering through text.
I learned them from Emacs on Linux and was pleasantly surprised to find that they work in almost every app on OSX.
With FFmpeg builds being produced for browsers[1], it'd be great see this working in a web app. I tried making one a few years back, but it was a little early. It only worked in Chrome, on a desktop, and with smallish MP4s at the time[2].
