Introducing YT-Feeds.
I was looking for an ultra lightweight YouTube client that would allow me to avoid the algorithm, clickbait thumbnails, and AI generated comment sections. After months of work, and getting side tracked many times, YT-Feeds was born. It can be found on GitHub, but is available on the AUR, and can be installed with binstall, github releases, or via cargo directly.
It is built in Rust with no graphical framework. It functions entirely on key binds and the design philosophy is to have only one page to view at any time.
Features List:
- Fast startup and navigation
- Uses minimal resources (under 1 Mb RAM!)
- Distraction and short form content free
- Allows for searching/subscribing/unsubscribing channels
- Automatically tracks and resumes watch history locally
- Shows recent videos from subscriptions organized by date
- Groups subscriptions into a collective "feed" organized by date
- Categorize and view videos in the 'watch later' menu
- Never requires leaving the terminal or using your mouse
- Cross platform support for ARM and x86_64 Windows, MacOS, and Linux
Bugs are to be expected in the initial release. Please use Github Issues for any bug reporting to allow for better tracking. Since initial post, version has already been updated from 1.0.2 to 1.0.5 because of fantastic users submitting bug reports!
Thank you for continuing to troubleshoot. No worries with GitHub, I understand your concern!
Can you check the log file? In 1.0.5 I’ve added stderr dumps from MPV to the log file. If any errors occurred, that’d give us a place to start.
I might not be able to recreate the issue, but others might have the same issue so I’m happy to find the source problem.
Where is the file it is dumping into? I can’t find it
