sebsel Thanks to gRegorLove's Mf2-to-iCalendar thingy, I am subscribed to my own RSVPs via Apple's Calendar, so now I post a lot more RSVPs to my own site :) can recommend it.

#
tantek Zegnat: I saw yesterday you posted about YouTube and OPML, did they used to support some sort of export and they dropped it?
#
Zegnat Yes. YouTube’s OPML export for subscription lists has been on the wiki for a while (both on youtube’s page and on /OPML, I believe).
#
Zegnat I noticed yesterday that the button is gone in the new subscription list design
snarfed joined the channel
#
Zegnat You can opt-in to the new design through youtube.com/new
#
tantek does the URL still work?
#
Zegnat Yes, even when opted in to the new design, the old subscription manager URL will work and give you the export button
#
Zegnat But I would not expect the old interface to exist after they officially jump to the new design
#
tantek That's probably worth clarifying on /YouTube#Export
#
tantek or maybe /YouTube#How_to_export
#
Zegnat It is here: https://indieweb.org/YouTube#Atom_feeds
#
tantek do you have screenshots on before / after?
#
Zegnat There is no real “export” of data
#
tantek the subscriptions list is the data
#
Zegnat But yes, screenshot of the button has been there
#
tantek since its something you specifically created
#
tantek it's

#
Zegnat The OPML contains links to XML feeds, I am not even sure it contains actual data about the channels you are subscribed to. But I might be able to expand that section when I have time.
#
tantek maybe just stub it for now with how to expand it?
#
tantek also worth capturing any limitations like that
#
Zegnat I mean, all I originally wanted to write about it is in /YouTube#Atom_feeds already ;)
#
Zegnat But I might have some time tonight to do a better write-up of what is on offer here.
#
Zegnat (Today marks the first week back in school, so time is a bit ... iffy)
#
tantek also removing it from the UI is likely something worth documenting on /OPML - just as /RSS notes removals
#
Zegnat I might try capturing some screenshots. Though not sure if that is worth it for an opt-in test version of the site… Also, would need to find a good way to hide my subscriptions
