OwnYourFeed

YouTube's homepage optimizes for watch-time, not intent. I wanted to flip that: a feed assembled from the channels and topics I actually choose, instead of whatever the algorithm decides will keep me scrolling.

A Manifest V3 Chrome extension that intercepts the homepage and rebuilds it against the YouTube Data API, pulling from a user-curated source list and rendering a calm, intentional feed in place of the default recommendations.

A working proof that you can reclaim a major platform's surface area with a few hundred lines of considerate code. A daily-driver for taking back attention.
