With the new wave of ads on mobile, the ones with the "next" button, I gave up. Instead I use the app to find videos and copy them to pipepipe.

Maybe the curated list can be exported to load on other apps.

that's really cool, I don't know if it's possible to add `Return YouTube Dislike` integration to shows the dislike counts. API (OSS): https://returnyoutubedislike.com/docs

and this one might be tricky but SponsorBlock integration also? to auto-skips sponsor segments and introsusing crowdsourced timestamps. API: https://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/w/API_Docs

I actually do like it a lot.

Small bug report: on mobile layout, the like/dislike button is getting a bit clipped and the watch later button seems a bit off too.

Really cool idea, you might consider bundling taps when you click a video so it auto-plays instead of opening up the native web browser for youtube. That would make it feel more like the official client. Could easily hide it behind a “buffering” screen.

Very interesting. I find that my youtube feed is nicely curated to my interests. Adapting my interests with the algo well. Discovery is mostly en pointe. It is only when I use an unlogged-in browser that I see the world outside the Matrix. That is a slopfest indeed.

What I would really like, now that you have opened up this amazing concept, is an ability to feed my own algo this entire collection. Inject all those videos into my own saved playlist. That would be anotherr cool use of this collection. Is there a way of doing that? Like some sort of algo plant food.

What do you usually do to fine tune your algorithm? Mine always seems to corrupt after some time even if I like and subscribe to specific channels. I have to delete all my history once a year or so.

Nice idea will watch though some - I made something similar but for food vids (filters over YouTube chefs - such as only vids with ingredients)

Wait a second, forget the content, is the html/tech behind this actually more pleasant to use than googles hyperoptimized youtube website?

This is great, would love filters for duration and sort by upload date

Sorting would certainly be great. I'd especially welcome sorting by some kind of quality metric. The "thumbs down" count is not available via API anymore, but you could use thumbs up per views as a proxy, although that might require some reweighing, since videos with many views usually have fewer thumbs up.

You could also add another layer of voting on hackertube.org, so you'd get a more hackernews-focused voting signal.

would be nice to be able to filter by hackernews upvotes on the recommending post

edit: and have the filter persist while navigating between topics

YouTube itself needs a competitor. There's too much ads.
