Nice work. The YouTube inline support with Shorts filtering is the detail that stands out to me — subscriptions-as-RSS is one of the last ways to follow creators chronologically, without the recommendation layer deciding for you. I come from the media/creator side and it's interesting how "just show me what I subscribed to, in order" went from default behavior to a feature you have to self-host.
Curious: do you pull YouTube via the classic channel RSS feeds, or the API? The RSS feeds don't distinguish Shorts from regular uploads, so I'm wondering how you filter them.
- kryoseu 3mo agoHey,thanks for the comment and sorry for the delay. I pull YouTube by what it advertises on the channel URL, something like: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=<channel_id>. But all the user has to do is enter the channel URL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/@<channel>. The user can then create filters like: - url:/shorts - url:/live - title:something - content:something Only items from the feed that don't match any of the filters are actually imported.
