Grayjay App - Follow Creators Not Platforms
grayjay.app

Watched Louis Rossman today, and he’s part of the team behind a new app for watching online video content - not just youtube, but nebula, peertube, twitch and more.

adblock already integrated, works amazingly with a quick test on my end - it’s an app in the Lemmy spirit

(it’s got a paid model similar to winrar, you don’t have to pay - but they do want you to - opensource and all)

    basically Newpipe but only source available, not really free software or open source, so they are restricting your freedoms.

    Just keep using Newpipe instead.

      Have you used it? It’s like NewPipe except that it’s better in almost every way. The ONLY downside is that it’s just old-fashioned open source instead of FOSS.

        It’s not open source

      It is open source but you can’t publish modified code (this is to ensure there will be no malicious forks like there was with newpipe)

      plus you missed the entire point:

      … app for watching online video content - not just youtube, but nebula, peertube, twitch and more.

      It’s an app that allows you to watch the same creators across many platforms

        The term “open source” generally refers to the definition by the Open Source Initiative.

        Not allowing publishing of modified source code is in violation with the criteria of open source.
