• Google fights Invidious (a privacy YouTube Front end)
  8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 31 Mar 2024

  I am running my of YouTube front-end.

  Link: https://github.com/rumca-js/Django-link-archive

  Demo: https://renegat0x0.ddns.net/apps/catalog

  Allows me to add channels, download individual videos, bookmark videos, etc. Uses iframe to display the video.

  I have no problems with viewing videos:

  - I use ff with adblock

  - videos are embedded using no-referrer-when-downgrade policy

  I have literally no ads.

  There are some drawbacks:

  - YouTube may change their policies, change embedding strategies

  - To have control over videos, you still have to manually download them

• Show HN: Free Plain-Text Bookmarking
  5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 22 Mar 2024

  I wrote bookmark manager in Django.

  https://github.com/rumca-js/Django-link-archive

  You can self host it.

  You can add RSS sources and auto import new links regularly.

  It may not be stare of the art, but gets the job done.

  Demo below, but may not be working when you look at it. It runs on raspberry pi.

• A search engine in 80 lines of Python

  I have myself dabbled a little bit in that subject. Some of my notes:

  - some RSS feeds are protected by cloudflare. It is true however that it is not necessary for majority of blogs. If you would like to do more then selenium would be a way to solve "cloudflare" protected links

  - sometimes even selenium headless is not enough and full blown browser in selenium is necessary to fool it's protection

  - sometimes even that is not enough

  - then I started to wonder, why some RSS feeds are so well protected by cloudflare, but who am I to judge?

  - sometimes it is beneficial to cover user agent. I feel bad for setting my user agent to chrome, but again, why RSS feeds are so well protected?

  - you cannot parse, read entire Internet, therefore you always need to think about compromises. For example I have narrowed area of my searches in one of my projects to domains only. Now I can find most of the common domains, and I sort them by their "importance"

  - RSS links do change. There need to be automated means to disable some feeds automatically to prevent checking inactive domains

  - I do not see any configurable timeout for reading a page, but I am not familiar with aiohttp. Some pages might waste your time

  - I hate that some RSS feeds are not configured properly. Some sites do not provide a valid meta "link" with "application/rss+xml". Some RSS feeds have naive titles like "Home", or no title at all. Such a waste of opportunity

  My RSS feed parser, link archiver, web crawler: https://github.com/rumca-js/Django-link-archive. Especially interesting could be file rsshistory/webtools.py. It is not advanced programming craft, but it got the job done.

  Additionally, in other project I have collected around 2378 of personal sites. I collect domains in https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database/tree/ma... . These files are JSONs. All personal sites have tag "personal".

  Most of the things are collected from:

  https://nownownow.com/

  https://searchmysite.net/

  I wanted also to process domains from https://downloads.marginalia.nu/, but haven't got time to read structure of the files

  On the other hand it is not 1995. Time has moved on. I wrote a Simple RSS feed, that also serves as search engine for bookmarks.

  I am able to run it in attick on raspberry pi. We do not have to rely so heavily on google.

  https://github.com/rumca-js/Django-link-archive

  It is true that it does not serve me as google, or kagi replacement. It is a very nice addition though.

  With a little bit off determination I do not have to be so dependent on google.

  Here is also a dump of known domains. Some are personal.

  ...and my bookmarks

  Some more years, and google can go to hell.

• Ask HN: Tell us about your project that's not done yet but you want feedback on
  68 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 16 Aug 2023

  I have a project. I have posted it once herenon HN. I have not received any feedback then, it hasn't received much traction.

  It is a link aggregation. Can be used as a RSS client, or YouTube front end for subscriptions.

  It is intended for light, personal use, therefore it is not much scalable, but supports user management.

• Self hosted YouTube media server – Tube Archivist
  10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 16 Jul 2023

  Ha, I have also wrote something similar

  https://github.com/rumca-js/Django-link-archive

  I support not only youtube, but also any RSS source.

  It functions as link aggregation software. I can also fetch meta for all videos in channel, and download videos, audios.

  I am using standard Django auth module.

  It still lacks polish, and it is under development. I am not a webdev, so I am still struggling with overall architecture
