#### Components
Float tube is an open source video player application  which sports great features. It supports playing videos in a pop-up mode. I mean, you can text while watching a video using this app. Should this application want to compete with elite video players,  it should consider adding one of these features, which includes the introduction of a search history , and extended search filters and a trending video section. 
#### Proposal
I just started using this app and I have enjoyed it thoroughly but I know the experience can be made better. This can be done by incorporating a trending video section, it's filter has just two components, with additions like short videos , long video I'm certain the effect will be enormous. Finally, I noticed you don't get a history of your searched videos, adding this search history will surely improve the app. 

#### Mockups / Examples

#### Benefits 
* Trending videos are what people are viewing online right now. They can reveal what people’s interests and intentions are and also what is happening right now.

* If you're trying to find a particular video you have searched for in the past, search history will help. 

* you can refine your search by using filters. This helps get the right video to watch. Like if you want to watch the video of a music you like, it would probably be the one with 4 minutes rather than the one that's 15 minutes with same name. But, if you set the filter to short, the video of 15 minutes won't show in the result.
