I was searching for any native(non-proxied) YouTube client for Android in kotlin.

I found this which is making me excited, but in the same time I am worried about its security and privacy that make me unable to install it.

Does anyone know the developer and is the app safe and private?

Asking out of ignorance, is there anything wrong with NewPipe rn?

I use Tubular, and this fork crashes hard when I import my DB (regardless of if I import the settings as well or not). Guess I'll stay on Tubular since it just works (for now).

Tubular works great and has SponsorBlock build in.

You can always turn off the proxying in LibreTube

What do you mean with non-proxied?

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 8 months ago

Not using the Piped or Invidious API to proxy the video stream, since these tend to get blocked by YouTube really quickly

the developer has one app on fdroid if that means anything to you

Dunno, but another fork popped up, recently on F-Droid. And I like it. It's name is PipePipe.

PipePipe has been around for quite some time, at least 2 years I believe
