Hacker News Reader

I believe it just started working again. It was not working for me until a few minutes ago.

RSS feeds are resolving for me again, and the embedded YouTube crash I mentioned in this thread seems to have simultaneously stopped. Hopefully whatever this was has been reverted.

Can confirm, feeds are back up.

For posterity, if it ever breaks I made a rough proxy script:

Confirmed working for me again, too. My feed reader is updating again.

I think I'm still going to look at building a yt-dlp/JSON to RSS alternative, though. I don't trust that this isn't foreshadowing and not a bug.

I use Youtube's RSS feeds in one of my programs and this happens once every couple of months. They'll 404 or 503 for half a day and then come back.

Not looking forward to the day they don't come back, of course!
