Apropos @peertube the french developer collective @Framasoft are currently trying to raise the (for #bigTech derisory) amount of EUR 75,000 to develop the opensource #fediverse competitor app to Youtube. Maybe chuck 'em a few euros if you think it useful?

There are a number of reasons why we didn't contribute to the NewPipe app (which we still like a lot!).

First of all, the goal is to make PeerTube more accessible to non-tech-savvy users.
However, NewPipe is virtually unknown outside of this sphere.

Of course, the fact that NewPipe is not available on the Play Store (or on iOS) plays a huge role.

@d4m13n @Ruth_Mottram @Framasoft
These are not the only issues, of course, there are others, such as (in no particular order):
- The need for an application that manages federation with an interface designed for
- The technical changes required to add all the features are certainly extremely significant
- The number of back-and-forth exchanges with the NewPipe team needed to move development forward (with our own app, we can iterate much more quickly).
