Hey HN, Like many other people here, I found myself lurking too much on YouTube, mindlessly scrolling the homepage to see what the algorithm throws at me.

At first I wanted to quit YouTube all together, but then realized some channels are important to me and very educational.

I decided to create TubeMail.io - You can sign up for free, pick the channels that interest you and get an email with the new videos on those channels each week/month/day.

The good thing about this is that if you use gmail (and probably some other services) you'll be able to watch the embedded youtube player within the gmail tab, so you won't even have to navigate to youtube.

Hope someone else also finds this helpful! :) (and i'll be happy to hear any feedback you have - good or bad.)
