I hope this project gets more contributors to help make it as good or better than Newpipe. Written in Dart using Flutter can allow it to be compiled for Android, iOS and desktop
What would make it better than NewPipe?
Why do we need a new Newpipe? There is also LibreTube already which imo is already better than NewPipe as it for example has sponserblock built-in (which NewPipe refused to add).
Tubular is Newpipe with Sponsorblock built in.
Libretube is not working since end of July, no instance
Libretube still works pretty good if you self-host your own private instance. You still need to use HLS though.
Yep ! No-ads, no-sponsor, no-shit.
You even don’t need to self-host, just disable piped proxy, enable local extraction, use HLS and a good VPN.
Sure it’s not as anonymous and sometime I need to disable my VPN, but that’s only temporarily, until they find a new loophole in youtoube’s api.
That’s not piped nor invidious backend’s fault, just YouTube doing his cat and mouse thing…
Why would I use this over Vanced?
Also do you know of any YouTube client that allows me to group subscriptions? Having all my subscriptions in 1 giant feed is pretty useless since I’m usually looking for a specific type of video. I haven’t found any client yet that allows subscription groups, which seems crazy.
Revanced and newpipe fill different roles while covering a lot of the same functionality. Revanced is still the YouTube app … Just modified.
There’s a lot of ppl that don’t want the actual yt app for everything that it is. Also this being Lemmy there’s a lot of users looking for open source alternatives for all apps.
Alright this inspired me to actually look into new pipe, which I hadn’t used before. Turns out I’m an idiot because it has exactly this feature.
In Grayjay you can group your subscriptions. https://grayjay.app/
isn’t grayjay still proprietary?
