  • Youlag (v4.2.0): Modernize FreshRSS for viewing YouTube and articles, now with DeArrow support to combat clickbait

    Jump

  • If Pinchflat works well for you now, I would stick with it. The FreshRSS approach would be that it's a lot less resource heavy and barely require any storage space. Because of this, you can serve multiple people with thousands of subscriptions.

  • It depends on your needs, as with most things. I chose FreshRSS as it allowed me to customize it, to turn it into a YouTube subscription feed. Before I created Youlag, I was using FreshRSS' official YouTube plugin for this purpose.

    I did stumble upon Miniflux while deciding on a RSS reader, but never considered it as it didn't include thumbnails in the feed view.

  • Thanks for letting me know, I'd love to get this working for as many people as possible, so please let me know if you got any leads.

  • That's odd, and you made sure that video mode for "All pages and categories " is unchecked?

    If you're not on the latest version of FreshRSS, perhaps try updating? During development and testing, I've always stayed with the latest version.

  • Just to double check, is the Youlag extension enabled in "Settings -> Extensions"?

    The view you described sounds like what FreshRSS would look like if Youlag isn't enabled.

  • If you’re thinking of SponsorBlock, Youlag doesn’t support that feature. In this recent comment, I’ve shared why that is the case.

    For traditional adblocking, I would suggest using uBlock Origin, which is also available on Android for firefox-based browsers.

    Edit: To clarify, there are no adblocking features built-in to Youlag.

  • I don't use Grayjay myself, but I tried it a long time ago, so this what I recall.

    Grayjay uses a web scraper to feed the stream into its own video player, which lets them add features such as timestamp, SponsorBlock, and background playback.

    Youlag is less sophisticated as it's solely a client‑side approach that embeds the official YouTube player. If you however add your own Invidious instance via the Youlag settings, you can play it through Invidious instead.

    With Youlag in FreshRSS, everything runs in the browser, so there’s no device syncing needed. That also means it even works on iOS devices, and essentially anything that can run a modern browser.

  • MAZANOKE v1.1.5: Self-hosted local image optimizer in your browser — now supports TIFF, ICO, basic auth (featured on Tailscale, LINUX Unplugged, Selfh.st)

    Jump

  • Thanks a bunch from sharing your result! Based on the fact that ICO works, and I didn't see any real issues in the logs, it could be the "Post-processing..." part where something goes wrong (I didn't add any more detailed logs for that part unfortunately).

    Will get back once I've setup a basic Windows development environment and made some tests!

  • Based off the things you mentioned, especially the "little quirk", there something in the pipeline that fails. The file name extension is intended to show regardless of which output format that is selected.

    Are you perhaps using a privacy-focused browser like Librewolf (opposed to vanilla Firefox)? Or do you have any extension that might be used for anti-fingerprinting? MAZANOKE need to be able to access the browser's canvas feature in order to convert images, and some browsers are blocking this feature to prevent fingerprinting.

    Also, have you tested MAZANOKE on a different browser to see if it works there?

    If the issue still persist, would you mind sending me a screenshot of the browser console log, in order for me to see where it fails. This will hopefully provide some hints.

    Additionally, while I don't have a Windows environment readily available, I've tested MAZANOKE on Ubuntu and macOS using both firefox and chromium, but I wasn't able to reproduce it. Will test on Windows when I find the chance to.

  • If I understand it correctly, the heic image does get read and compressed. However, it's the last part when clicking the download button that it instead displays the image as a jpeg (on a new tab)?

  • That's still very interesting to hear, maybe I'll look into it for my next (simpler) project just to try it out.

  • I think @jogai_san@lemmy.world put out some great points. On top of this, you can still install MAZANOKE as a PWA, so you "essentially" get a native application experience.

  • Thanks for your kind words, I tried putting some effort into making the interface a bit more fun and interactive, so thanks for noticing!

    In regards to Rust, I've been interested in learning more about it, but I've not had time yet, so it's been in a "soon (tm)" limbo. As I'm comfortable with JavaScript/JS frameworks, sticking with JS was a quick way to get started without much friction.

  • To preface a bit. I occasionally run my images through Sharp over CLI, and I am also a daily user of the Caesium desktop app. However, I haven't explored the details of how Caesium is implemented.

    The biggest difference is that MAZANOKE targets a different user group, essentilly those who would use online tools over installing applications, which is something you see more of these days. I wanted my family and friends to have a safe drop-in replacement for those shady websites. For those who want to use a "native app", installing MAZANOKE as a PWA is also a great option.

    In terms of core functionality, they are very similar and support the same output image formats. But at the end of the day, MAZANOKE is privacy-focused too, and have plans to add a simple image editor for obfuscation, cropping, and related features. You can also access MAZANOKE anywhere, whether it is self-hosted or on the official instance.

    Fundamentally, MAZANOKE relies heavily on the device, and the browser's Canvas API. This means that the speed and quality could slightly differ depending on which device/browser you use. I believe Caesium's performance would be more consistent.

    (I didn't know where to put this, but my favorite feature is being able to paste to compress an image right away using MAZANOKE.)

  • For this project, I think I'll keep it to just images, but if I tackle a project with videos, it would be separate from MAZANOKE.

  • Correct! This all works in the browser offline. As outlined in the install instructions, you can simply download the project files and just launch index.html. The docker setup is if you want to be able to access the service on local network or share it publicly.

  • Yes, it's all JavaScript and essentially relies on the Canvas API to compress the images, so the performance is heavily dependent of your device and browser. I haven't delved into WASM yet, but it would indeed open up doors for improvements, such a more file format support and more intelligent optimization. At the moment, working with canvas keeps things a lot more straightforward, however.

    There is no funding I can provide at all (I've received 2 donations so far, which I'm very grateful for!). I just do this on my spare time, which I have a lot less of these days. I initially created MAZANOKE as a drop-in replacement for family and friends, specifically to those who tend to use questionable or ad-bloated online tools.
