About
thebelarus.online is an open catalogue of independent Belarusian media. Today it indexes nearly 600 YouTube channels with handles, subscriber and view counts, topics, and recent uploads; Telegram, and later Facebook and other platforms, plug into the same schema.
The UI is bilingual — Belarusian by default, English a click away — with light and dark themes. There is no sign-up, no analytics, and no third-party SDK. Every channel and topic page is pre-rendered as static HTML so search engines and LLM crawlers see the catalogue without executing JavaScript.
Data is refreshed four times a day from the official YouTube Data API. The site is served as a static bundle from DigitalOcean App Platform in Frankfurt.
Highlights
-
Search the whole catalogue
Token-AND search across names, handles, keywords and Wikipedia topics. Filter by source, sort by subscribers, views, or recency.
-
Topic-based browsing
Channels are grouped by Wikipedia topics — politics, lifestyle, music, news — each with its own pre-rendered landing page for SEO and LLM crawlers.
-
Recent uploads at a glance
A dedicated 'Today' view aggregates the latest videos from across the catalogue, refreshed multiple times a day.
-
Multi-source by design
YouTube today; Telegram, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and X drop into the same data shape with no UI rewrite — the site auto-builds source filters from the data.
-
Zero tracking
No accounts, no cookies, no analytics, no ad SDKs. The site is JSON and JavaScript over HTTPS, and that's the whole stack the visitor sees.
