+### This is a new version where I'm trying to break dependance with Invidious (and later Nitter). Currently the video playing page (`/video/<video-id>`) no longer depends on Invidious, but it connects to *googlevideo*. I'm working on a proxy-based solution for this and any help is welcome!

 Parasitter allows you to follow your favorite Twitter and YouTube accounts with full privacy using rss feeds in order to gather the latest content from your favourite accounts and builds a *beautiful* feed so you can read them. Parasitter is written in Python and Flask and uses Semantic-UI as its CSS framework.
 
 Parasitter is possible thanks to several open-source projects that are listed on the [Powered by](#powered-by) section. Make sure to check out those awesome projects!

-> IMPORTANT: Connections to googlevideo will be made to stream the videos (as Invidious did). It is recommended to use a VPS server to preserve your privacy.
-You don't need a server to run Parasitter. You can run it on your computer locally and own your (little) data. The installation process is done on a GNU/Linux environment, but should be pretty similar on other platforms.

-> WARNING: This section is under construction.
-##### Installing the app:
-1. Install base dependencies:
-   - `sudo apt-get -y update`
-   - `sudo apt-get -y install python3 python3-venv python3-dev`
-   - `sudo apt-get -y install mysql-server postfix supervisor nginx git`
-   > Installation of MySQL will require you to enter a *database root* password.
-2. Install the application:
-   - `git clone https://github.com/pluja/Parasitter.git`
-   - `cd Parasitter`
-3. Prepare the environment:
-   - `python3 -m venv venv`
-   - `source venv/bin/activate`
-   - (venv) $ `pip install -r requirements.txt`
-4. Install deployment packages:
-   - (venv) `pip install gunicorn pymysql`
-5. Edit the *.env* SECRET_KEY:
-   - `nano .env`
-   > This will open an editor. Make sure to change the SECRET_KEY to a string of your like. Make it random and long enough.
-6. Set up FLASK_APP environment variable:
-   - `echo "export FLASK_APP=parasitter.py" >> ~/.profile`
-
-##### Database configuration:
-1. Enter the MySQL command prompt:
-   - `mysql -u root -p`
-   > It will prompt for the "root" password. This password is the one you set on the MySQL installation.
-2. Create the database:
-   - mysql> `create database parasitter character set utf8 collate utf8_bin;`
-   - mysql> `create user 'parasitter'@'localhost' identified by '<db-password>';`
-   > Replace `<db-password>` as the password for the database *parasitter* user. This one needs to match the password set on the DATABASE_URL in the *.env* file (See Step 5 of [App installation](installing-the-app))
-   - mysql> `grant all privileges on parasitter.* to 'parasitter'@'localhost';`
-   - mysql> `flush privileges;`
-   - mysql> `quit;`
-3. Upgrade the database:
-   - (venv) `flask db upgrade`
