I wrote a program that exposes my YouTube subscriptions as a news feed. It's seriously a relief to finally have this stuff show up in [my feed reader](https://www.newsblur.com).

It's not a "Show HN" because there's no way for others to try it (yet).

Some things I'm curious about:

* Is anyone else here doing something similar?

* Would anyone like to use this service?

* Are there other YouTube-meets-news-feed features that you'd love to see?

I did maintain a list of all my subscriptions in FreshRSS for a while. I started doing this after I noticed Youtube was withholding videos from the subscription page and then showing them too me as something I might like on the home page. This really irritated me it broke my process for finding where I last was.

The problem was while I migrated in a big chunk using some jank javascript this wasn't a process that kept in sync and gradually over time it got out of date and the initial problem was fixed and I removed them all. I haven't yet seen an open source self hosted solution for this for getting the list and providing an Atom feed but its definitely something I want.
