It's not as slickly packaged, but I made a webserver that turns YouTube channels into proper RSS subscribe-able audio podcasts:

If you find yourself often having your phone in your pocket with the screen blazing, just to be able to listen to YT content, you might like it.

(it's on the todo list to Dockerize it)

Did you know iOS podcasts supports video podcasts? Haven’t looked at your code but maybe wouldn’t be too much work to make video work too. I’ll talk a look. Thanks!

I’ve thought that it would be a great way to avoid the algorithm addiction and only see my subs.

That's in fact already supported, but I didn't document it because I felt it muddied the pitch.

Add this per-podcast in the config file:

"vidya": true

I hear you about not wanting to spend too much time in the circus.
