I built folders for YouTube subscriptions, because 300 channels in one alphabetical list is useless

Wait 5 sec.

I'm building SubShelf, a free Chrome extension that puts folders for your YouTube subscriptions in YouTube's sidebar. I kept losing channels I actually cared about in my subscription list, so I made the thing I wanted. On Tuesday I posted it in r/chrome_extensions. What came out of the comments: - Someone noticed their homelab channel "ServersatHome" got sorted into Food & Lifestyle. The offline sorter saw "home" in the name. Fixed in 1.3.1, plus homelab words now count as Tech. - Someone asked if a channel can be in two folders. It could, but nobody would ever find out how, so now you just Ctrl+drag it. - A GitHub issue showed the folder chip bar covering the top of the thumbnails. I "fixed" it three times by guessing before I measured the actual page and found the real cause (a sticky element measured from the wrong container). Lesson learned: measure first. Along the way I also added YouTube's blue "new videos" dot to the folders, so you can see which folder has something new without opening each one, and you can reorder folders by dragging them now. Everything runs locally, no account, no tracking. Sorting works offline by default.

That's been the most useful thing so far.   submitted by   /u/peterparker3113 [link]   [comments]
