Summary

A page that replaces YouTube‘s build-in subs feature, do you don’t have to have an Google account to sub

Description
I‘m thinking about either a page you just have locally in a folder that uses sth. like lowdb or a hosted page using firebase. The idea is to recreate the sub page so you don’t need a G-Account for YT (if you only use it for subs). Maybe have a comment system too if the app has enough users. Anyway I don‘t think it’s that much work (excluding the comment system) and I‘m starting building it in 2 days and am sure it won’t need that much time.

    We should really store the user data anonymously in a block chain under the use of machine learning. Because this is future.

    With an extension would we have access to local storage? Obvs this wouldn’t work across different machines but we could make it have a totally local option which is good if you just basically use the same machine all the time.

    @jeeper local storage is meant that people clone the repo and run the code on their system. What do you mean with extension?

    @bcye I think he means saving in the browser.

    I don't use Firefox, but at least in chrome, every extension get a scheme chrome-extension://(random_alphabet)/.../(html_file, or etc)

    You can save there, and load it somewhere

    Maybe make it as userscript and add custom sub page inside youtube

    @Clear0Ff uh oh. I wanted, then I tried around with YouTube api. (Which didn’t work out) I found a tutorial to get the uploads of a channel online but I didn’t have the time to implement this since.

    Would this not be detrimental to content creators? Does their subscriber count not affect their income?

    I literally had the exact same idea a couple of days ago 😬😁
    Would be happy to contribute, do you plan to use only frontend tech? (As you mentioned firebase, HTML, CSS)
    I planned "my version" of this as a learning project for laravel, but I'm open for other things.
