Currently the first impression is not friendly. I think most prospective users would not bother going into YouTube to find a channel URL to paste in the box to get an RSS feed to load into their RSS reader just to find out whether or not it solves their problem.

We should have some easy way to get a feed for some example channels.

And maybe some screenshots of a feed so people know what to expect. A built-in feed reader would be even better.

It appears that the domain name has expired.

Currently seem to be hitting some YouTube rate limiting, which doesn't make sense given that they explicitly give a "bulk export" of RSS feeds which would be used in exactly this way.

Maybe I've been hitting it too often and need to let it cool down and come back later...

A user ought to be able to come back later and continue editing their subscriptions even if their session has cleared.

They also ought to be able to edit their feed without having to put a new URL in their feed reader.

Ideally this would not involve associating each feed with a username or email address.

Currently the title of the RSS feed is always the name of one of the channels. It should instead be "Submerge subscriptions" or something.

Should have a way to go to something like /view?channels=... so that you can set up a list of channels and share them with others.

Viewing this should not automatically add the channels to the user's session cookie (and realistically the session cookie is a bad way to store the user's subscriptions anyway) but should have a convenient button to do so if the user wishes.

The mojo session cookie has a max. size of 4096 bytes, and also is liable to go missing.

We want something that can store more data, and stick around longer.

Should be able to delete individual channels from the feed instead of just wiping everything.

Currently the player links are rewritten to hooktube.com but the thumbnails are still loaded from ytimg.com, which will leak some information about people's subscriptions to Google.

Not super important but would be good to fix.
