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?
The codebase is in Java.
What’s wrong with that?
A good portion of Android itself is written in Java, and is not expected to get ported to Kotlin any time soon
I’m curious, why is kotlin interesting here ?
I’m sorry but that is really the dumbest argument that I’ve ever heard. How in the world does that affect the user when it’s compiled anyways? If you want to modify the app then just do it in kotlin. They are interoperable
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

You can always turn off the proxying in LibreTube
What do you mean with non-proxied?
Not using the Piped or Invidious API to proxy the video stream, since these tend to get blocked by YouTube really quickly
Does not use projects like piped.
the developer has one app on fdroid if that means anything to you
did you try pipepipe ? https://github.com/InfinityLoop1308/PipePipe
PipePipe is not written in kotlin.
And?
