## Description

YouCast is a Windows desktop application that lets users subscribe to YouTube channels and playlists as podcast feeds in any podcatcher like Overcast, iTunes, or BeyondPod. It generates RSS feeds for audio-only or video content, supports sorting by popularity, limiting feed length, and custom YouTube API keys to bypass daily request limits. The app runs a local HTTP server on port 22703 that must stay running while podcast apps fetch episodes. It is open-source under GPL-2.0 and distributed as a standalone zip release.
