+ <summary>What is this?</summary>
+ <p>
+ This web-application is a way to <em>follow</em> YouTube-Channels,
+ without using either the YouTube.com website directly or requiring a
+ Youtube/Google account.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Instead, this utility uses YouTube's
+ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS" target="_blank">
+ RSS-Feeds
+ </a> in order to fetch the latest videos uploaded to specified Channels.
+ Simply insert the Channel-ID or <em>Username</em> (starting with an
+ <code>@</code>) in the form at the top of the page and click "save".
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ For each channel, the newest 15 videos will be gathered, sorted
+ chronoligically and served you as a simple list. You can click the
+ thumbnail of a video-preview to start playback. This will embed the
+ YouTube-Video directly, i.e. your browser will connect to youtube.com
+ </p>
