>>74561590You need to break the problem up into small, small bits
First thing you look at Youtube and say to yourself, "I want to make a chat plugin that's more efficient"
Then obviously you need to figure out how a chrome or other browser plugin works
After that you need to figure out "How does youtube chat on my screen know what messages, pictures and usernames to display? how is it getting them?"
Once you learn that, you write a plugin that can pull the latest chat message in an ongoing chat
Don't think about things peripheral to the problem at the start like frameworks or whatever, because often they're either used just because the dev was familiar with them from other projects, or to solve problems you haven't even thought about yet
Just try to implement the most barebones POC and see what issues you run into along the way
