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
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.
In Grayjay you can group your subscriptions. https://grayjay.app/
it used to be “see source, but no touch source” when it came out, and now it’s “see source, touch source, no sell source”. Not exactly proprietary, not free as in freedom. Kinda gray zone here, pun intended
Just not necessarily FOSS. The code is available and open to a certain limit. Not free however.
