hi everyone,

I've been working on a web app (https://velty.app) that lets you organize your YouTube subscriptions and videos into folders and sub-folders. It helps you find what you want to watch more easily.

The idea came up when I found it hard to organize my growing list of YouTube subscriptions and finding videos easily. The YouTube playlists system is limited — it lacks hierarchy and search functionality. I wanted an app to organizing everything into folders and sub-folders to easily find videos by their duration or the channel they're from. Also, provide the same functionality on mobile and destkop.

I tried different methods like RSS readers, browser extensions, and bookmarks, but they all had drawbacks:

    - Browser extensions don't work on mobile.

    - With bookmarks, filtering and sorting are challenging.

    - RSS readers have limitations in organizing folders and sub-folders and lack filtering and sorting options such as duration, published date, and channel names.

So, I decided to build my own solution to deal with these issues.

I'm keen to hear your thoughts on the idea!
