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.
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?
Sorry, I don’t plan to add that feature.
On the way, I developed lightweight image editor and 3D model viewer components, which I've open sourced [1].
Also, figuring out a way to visualise manhattan chart, score worm, wagon wheels etc using plain text ascii

Free online database of all apps and their third party trackers.
I made an Android app that lists the trackers on your phone.
You can checkout that app by going to https://AppGoblin.info/about and clicking the link there. It is a test url for an open source ad tracking software. (ie track where an install came from, in this case the about page of the site).
Feel free to reach out if you're interested in either project.
