  • I was actually contemplating if I should've omitted the mention of Invidious, seeing how it is a niche feature, but I guess it was the right call to keep it.

  • Glad to hear that! For the "Watch later" part, the way Youlag approaches it is to turn "Favorites" into a "Watch/read it later" page. The approach is slightly different, but achieves the same thing.

  • If Pinchflat works well for you now, I would stick with it. The FreshRSS approach would be that it's a lot less resource heavy and barely require any storage space. Because of this, you can serve multiple people with thousands of subscriptions.

  • It depends on your needs, as with most things. I chose FreshRSS as it allowed me to customize it, to turn it into a YouTube subscription feed. Before I created Youlag, I was using FreshRSS' official YouTube plugin for this purpose.

    I did stumble upon Miniflux while deciding on a RSS reader, but never considered it as it didn't include thumbnails in the feed view.

  • Thanks for letting me know, I'd love to get this working for as many people as possible, so please let me know if you got any leads.

  • That's odd, and you made sure that video mode for "All pages and categories " is unchecked?

    If you're not on the latest version of FreshRSS, perhaps try updating? During development and testing, I've always stayed with the latest version.

  • Just to double check, is the Youlag extension enabled in "Settings -> Extensions"?

    The view you described sounds like what FreshRSS would look like if Youlag isn't enabled.

  • If you’re thinking of SponsorBlock, Youlag doesn’t support that feature. In this recent comment, I’ve shared why that is the case.

    For traditional adblocking, I would suggest using uBlock Origin, which is also available on Android for firefox-based browsers.

    Edit: To clarify, there are no adblocking features built-in to Youlag.

  • I don't use Grayjay myself, but I tried it a long time ago, so this what I recall.

    Grayjay uses a web scraper to feed the stream into its own video player, which lets them add features such as timestamp, SponsorBlock, and background playback.

    Youlag is less sophisticated as it's solely a client‑side approach that embeds the official YouTube player. If you however add your own Invidious instance via the Youlag settings, you can play it through Invidious instead.

    With Youlag in FreshRSS, everything runs in the browser, so there’s no device syncing needed. That also means it even works on iOS devices, and essentially anything that can run a modern browser.

  • As a Lemmy user myself, I totally get the sentiment. GitHub isn’t ideal, and I had also considered Codeberg in the past (not for this project, but way back for others). Unfortunately, the simple reason is that the community is already on there, which makes getting contributions and engagement much easier. Managing and tracking issues across two platforms would be quite (mentally) taxing, which is on top of the effort already going into developing the app.

  • I'm glad to hear it's being used frequently! I've heard a similar, but not exactly the same use case, so I recommend submitting a feature request on GitHub. That way, I can review it later to assess if the feature could be included when I plan ahead for new releases.

  • EXIF data is removed by default, at the moment, there's no way to keep those data. I personally see that more as a feature than a bug though. The primary reason why there is no option to keep EXIF data is to maintain feature parity across different image formats.

  • The conversion option "Default" is meant to retain the file format when possible, but you can actively select the other options like jpg or webp if that fits your use case better.

  • Currently, only SVG to PNG is supported. SVGOMG is a great tool I’ve used many times as a user, but since it runs as a Node.js app, it would require server-side processing, unlike the local browser-based approach of this app.

  • If I understand it correctly, then yes, that's the case! I've utitlized several libraries such as "Browser Image Compression", "heic-to", and more, to wrap it in a web interface.
