Architecture

The app uses a Cloudflare Worker as a CORS proxy to fetch YouTube RSS feeds and search results.

┌─────────────┐     ┌────────────────────┐     ┌─────────────┐
│   Browser   │────▶│ Cloudflare Worker  │────▶│   YouTube   │
│ (yt.msl.cloud)    │  (CORS Proxy)      │     │   (RSS/API) │

Self-Hosting

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• A Cloudflare account (free tier works)

Deploy the CORS Proxy Worker

1. Navigate to the worker directory:

   cd worker
   npm install

2. Login to Cloudflare:

   npx wrangler login

3. Deploy the worker:

   npm run deploy

4. Note the worker URL (e.g., https://yt-feed-proxy.YOUR_SUBDOMAIN.workers.dev)

5. Update docs/yt.js with your worker URL:

   const WORKER_URL = 'https://yt-feed-proxy.YOUR_SUBDOMAIN.workers.dev';

6. Update worker/wrangler.toml to allow your domain:

   [vars]
   ALLOWED_ORIGIN = "https://your-domain.com"

Host the Frontend

The docs/ folder contains the static frontend. You can host it on:

• GitHub Pages
• Cloudflare Pages
• Any static hosting service
