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?

You can always turn off the proxying in LibreTube
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
What do you mean with non-proxied?
Does not use projects like piped.
Ah, ok, thanks
Was thinking like, opposite of native. Aber that didn’t really made sense for me.
Not using the Piped or Invidious API to proxy the video stream, since these tend to get blocked by YouTube really quickly
@Andromxda @naeap it’s odd but the mobile app versions of these proxies services seem to work longer vs the desktop versions… #freetube for example, android app now connects, but desktop says you can’t view since you’re not logged in.
the developer has one app on fdroid if that means anything to you
Asking out of ignorance, is there anything wrong with NewPipe rn?
The codebase is in Java.
A good portion of Android itself is written in Java, and is not expected to get ported to Kotlin any time soon
What’s wrong with that?
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
I’m curious, why is kotlin interesting here ?
did you try pipepipe ? https://github.com/InfinityLoop1308/PipePipe
PipePipe is not written in kotlin.
And?
