How I Turned My YouTube Frustrations into MyTubes/sideproject

We all love spending time on YouTube, subscribing to channels, and sharing funny stuff with friends.
But the problem is that YouTube is a bit stuck. The core of YouTube is subscriptions, yet it’s missing so many features—and let’s not even get started on the lack of options for sharing.

How it all started, so as a person who uses YouTube daily, there are always a few things that bother me.

And it's all related to the subscriptions, the most important thing on YouTube.

So let’s say you subscribed to the 10 channels above. You go to the subscriptions page and try to search for a specific channel, but there’s no search option for subscriptions. So, you end up scrolling up and down until you find it.
Or maybe you just want to see the latest upload from each of them—but if one channel uploads 10 videos a day, it takes several scrolls before you even reach the other channels’ videos.

MyTubes

From this came the idea for MyTubes—an app that collects all your data in one click. It lets you organize your subscriptions into groups, see the latest upload from each channel, and even share a group (for example, if your friends also want to learn coding, with one click they get all the coding-related channels). You can also create a public profile so other users can see who you’re following, and you can easily track which channels are inactive.



So why MyTubes?
📂 Organize your subscriptions into groups
🔍 Find channels easily with grouped search
⏱️ See the latest upload from each channel at a glance
🤝 Share groups with friends in one click
🌍 Create a public profile so others can see who you follow
💤 Track inactive channels
