But the problem is—No subtitles preferences, no video organizer.
Channel organization and deleting is already out there. But video organizer, playlists & subtitles will make it better.
I think you added ads-blocker too. Right?
The experience is so smooth. I can set preview duration myself. But the problem is—No subtitles preferences, no video organizer. Channel organization and deleting is already out there. But video organizer, playlists & subtitles will make it better. I think you added ads-blocker too. Right?
I'm using YouTube's official iframe embed to stay compliant with their ToS, so ad serving is entirely on their side and I don't control it.

thanks! I will work on some of these improvements later, planning on open sourcing everything as well so others can contribute. I'm using YouTube's official iframe embed to stay compliant with their ToS, so ad serving is entirely on their side and I don't control it.
You can try Tauri/Electron to build a cross platform app. The app will be a browser instance that renders the website and can remove ads, cookies and other headers easily & legally as technically it's not a website.
Btw. Don't you have GitHub or X?

I got it. I thought you were using some kind of proxy or something. But it's completely client side I guess. That's nice.

First, when I added multiple channels it seemed like it was playing content from just the first one I added. I liked the filtering feature so I could swap that way, but I assume the idea is it should work with both? If so, how does it choose the order?
Second, and this is a more specialized “need” but on some channels the videos are sequential. Gaming channels frequently have “episodes” and podcasts sometimes have parts. I noticed they come in inverse order as yours probably shows newest first. Probably not the use case you’re solving for but just be aware.
Very nice, slick UI! I like the feel of it. Couple thing I ran into though. First, when I added multiple channels it seemed like it was playing content from just the first one I added.

Second, and this is a more specialized “need” but on some channels the videos are sequentia…
I want to add more advanced filtering/ordering options later on, so that's a good call out
the idea to also display "playlists" is interesting, I will think about that :)
