I'm subscribed to 200+ YouTube channels and YouTube's subscription feed has been getting worse every year.I basically never see half the channels I subscribed to and I don't like the UI and limited features.

I tried PocketTube but it felt clunky to me, not intuitive enough. It's a Chrome extension that overlays on top of YouTube's UI, which means it breaks whenever YouTube pushes an update. I wanted something that just works on its own, on any device, without depending on YouTube's frontend.

So I built FeedVault. It's a simple web app: you make lists, add channels, and each list gives you a chronological feed of just those channels. That's it. No algorithm, no recommendations. I open my "Web Dev" list and I only see web dev. I open "Cooking" and I only see cooking videos from my subscribed channels, to that list.

It runs on the YouTube Data API which has real per-user costs, so I can't just leave it running for free :/

I used it for myself for a while but took it offline because it didn't make sense to pay API costs for one person.

Now I'm doing a small pre-sale to see if anyone else wants this badly enough to fund it. 15 backers and I ship it.

There's a free demo on the site if you want to poke around the UI: https://getfeedvault.com/
