I will wait until the GitLab has the apk. For one, it feels sus but being Rossmann, i will look the other way. The second issue is that I will not manualy check for updates every app I have on my phone and this app need to be compatible with Obtainium or on F-droid.

I already use Obtanium to update Grayjay. It has an HTML function.
For one, it feels sus but being Rossmann, i will look the other way.
Shouldn't anything shilled by Rossmann automatically feel suspicious?
Why?
Uninformative and unfortunate
Logs are disabled by default in the version I just tried. I like that.
Otherwise, it basically does what Newpipe does, but supports more platforms, which is really nice.
The videos I've tried loaded quickly, adding new platforms to the feed loads almost instantly, so very performant, all things considered.
As far as I understand it, you can pay for a license, but you don't have to?

Exactly. Louis Rossman says that if you use it and don't pay, that's "between you and your god".
There's NewPipe, which is open-source.
I think it's a good idea, I'm glad they made it, and if it takes off then I look forward to new pipe or free tube incorporating the same functionality into a open source project.
It's a good start for a Revanced alternative.
We have Newpipe and Libretube for complete local video management but it's nice to have an additional one to Revanced. Whether it picks up and becomes big that remains to be seen.
That it probably won't stay available for long
What it does?
Aggregates video on many platforms into a single search and feed, so Twitter YouTube and Facebook for example are all in the same app
It does a combined creator feed. So if you subscribe to a Patreon or whatever it can be on your feed with their normal free stuff.
That’s what I got from the website. Looks cool but I’m on iOS.
Wondering if/when an iOS version will be released.
If they make one, you'd have to sideload it.
That probably won't be a problem for too long, since the EU forces them to make it easier to do
That would be fine. I already use a sideloaded version of YouTube.
I'm excited about it but sadly it would not install on my phone. It's early still, so I'll give it another try in a couple of weeks. I generally only watch youtube despite having accounts on other platforms. I think an app like this that seamlessly unifies everything into one place will expose me to more content that I've been missing out on. Hopefully once it's working well enough they'll make a windows version. I'm loving FreeTube but again, it's only one platform.
