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

      Maybe if there was at least one project (other than Grayjay, bc that takes quite a bit of storage) that runs well on less powerful devices and ties to add support for all services community requests.

      Just look at those cases when ppl requested them to add Odysee and removed. (I do get the removed part of thing, but saying Odysee is bad feels like an insult to people who don’t want to put videos on Youtube. As if yt contained only good and properly reviewed content, right?). And there’s more denied requests like that. Saying things like it’s full of propaganda, conspiracies and idk what else they can come up with.

      And other forks just support one or 2 additional services. Kinda reason why I like Grayjay plugin system. Because if you want support for something, you can, even without Android Studio. It already contains more, but it’s quite large.

    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.

              Not in the usual sense, because you can still fully fork it, use it, modify it and redistribute it freely like a FOSS software.

              You may use or modify the software only for non-commercial purposes such as personal use for research, experiment, and testing for the benefit of public knowledge, personal study, private entertainment, hobby projects, amateur pursuits, or religious observance, all without any anticipated commercial application. You may distribute the software or provide it to others only if you do so free of charge for non-commercial purposes.

              The only limitation which make it non-free is :

              Notwithstanding the above, you may not remove or obscure any functionality in the software related to payment to the Licensor in any copy you distribute to others.

              I don’t really understand if it “prevent you” to remove and/or prevent the modification of the donation to FUTO part of the code. Should not prevent you from adding yours on top of it (As in, adding a prompt as in "If you want to do donate to the project, you can donate to the original app owner (DONATE TO FUTO) or the maintainer of the fork you are using (DONATE TO THE MAINTAINER).) And the obvious limitation of making derivative work of it, non-free of course.

              Also, they do reserve themselves rights to abrodge the license for those who abridge it, which i don’t know how legally useful it may be, for license violations compared to protecting the GPL licenses from violations for example.

              tl;dr : Seems FOSS to me, as long as :

              • You don’t try to make it non-free
              • You don’t remove the donation to FUTO part of the app
