Youlag is a FreshRSS extension that allows you to browse your YouTube and article RSS feeds through a modernized design that incorporates quality-of-life features.

It is designed for a distraction-free experience, for people who want to be intentional about their viewing habits.

Why?

Subscribe to creators via RSS without a Google account, stay free of algorithms, and access your subscriptions from any device. Youlag can also be used just for article reading.


Highlights v4.3.0

  • Video entries supports direct links and can now e.g. be opened in new tabs.
  • The floating miniplayer restores position and autoplays on its own when you navigate, so no more manually hitting play.
  • Mobile: Swipe left side of the screen to open/close the sidebar.
  • Hide description intro if it contain links; reduce chance of seeing sponsored content.

Youlag adds its own keyboard control, so it might be interfering with FreshRSS' default ones. I personally never utilized any of FreshRSS' keyboard shortcuts and might have overlooked that aspect.

If you don't mind opening an issue in the repo with the relevant context, I might be able to look into it in the future.
