Hey all! I posted here a year ago about Serial, my RSS reader for YouTube content. I've been working on it since then, so I thought I'd swing back around and give you an update on some of the things that have changed!

The project started as just "what if we used YouTube's RSS feeds to build an alternative, more focused UI for watching YouTube", and has grown into a more fully-featured RSS reader designed to give you more control over the content that's coming in.

Here's a small snapshot of things that might interest you:

Supports any RSS feed, with especially good support for YouTube and Nebula feeds
Organize your feeds into "Views", and tweak the information density / amount of content depending on how much you want to see
Expanded keyboard navigation
Import your feeds from .opml, or directly from youtube with data from Google Takeout (the google data export tool)
Watch videos in a custom video player designed to minimize distractions
Full support for self-hosting, with a variety of docker-compose setups depending on your preferences
