		reisr3 6 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ask HN: What are you working on? (March 2025) This is great! It's very close to something I desperately want to exist: a way to peruse the YouTube videos' my friends are watching. My algo often gets bad, and the best recommendations for YouTube videos come from friends' suggestions. And sometimes I just want to be recommended something totally different than what my algo would know about. Would it be possible to add that feature?

The idea behind Velty is to let you consume your YouTube videos mainly in chronological order, without being at the mercy of the YouTube algorithm.

Sorry, I don’t plan to add that feature.
