“Youlag Theme for FreshRSS” provides a video-focused browsing experience for your RSS subscriptions. It tries to provide a similar experience to YouTube, primarily through its layout using CSS, but also a little bit of Javascript.

In case you’re not aware, “FreshRSS is a self-hosted RSS feed aggregator”.
The idea is that you subscribe to content creators through YouTube’s RSS feed https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id={id_goes_here}, then browse, watch, save to playlist (“label”), right within FreshRSS.
There’s also third-party extension for FreshRSS that provides the ability to use Invidious, but as we all know, the public instances are unfortunately struggling quite a bit as of writing.
pretty cool, i want to encourage this purely in the interest of building up a community of more interesting themes. that part of freshrss is so bland.
Hopefully this will spark some interest in that!
Does it apply it to all feeds? Or can it detect what feeds are actually Youtube ones?
It applies the theme across the entire instance!
I believe it could be done however, but it’s likely more suitable as an extension, opposed to a “theme” that relies on client-side css/js. I haven’t explored the documentations for extensions as I intended this to be a “quick” solution to get a youtube-like experience.
“Youlag” lmao
Does PeerTube offer RSS feeds?
