I’ve been building Velty[1] over the past year as a tool to tame my ever-growing YouTube subscriptions. It’s a web app (PWA) that lets you organize your YouTube channels and videos into folders (with sub-folders), and view all the latest videos in one chronological feed with powerful filtering/sorting.

I built it because I was frustrated with how hard it was to manage a large number of channel subscriptions using YouTube’s default interface.

This is great! It's very close to something I desperately want to exist: a way to peruse the YouTube videos' my friends are watching.

My algo often gets bad, and the best recommendations for YouTube videos come from friends' suggestions. And sometimes I just want to be recommended something totally different than what my algo would know about.

Would it be possible to add that feature?

The idea behind Velty is to let you consume your YouTube videos mainly in chronological order, without being at the mercy of the YouTube algorithm.

Sorry, I don’t plan to add that feature.
