I love the idea of a privacy-focused fronend for YouTube, but every time I visit a piped link, it just spins forever. Both on my Linux desktop and my Android phone.

Maybe I’m doing something wrong?

Here is the latest one I tried and failed to load.

      I saw that. It’s not FOSS, though if that’s what you’re implying.

      Just reading over the license, it allows neither making modifications to the source nor commercial use. Allowing both of those would be necessary for it to qualify as either Free Software or Open Source. (And I’m not sure those are the only things in the license preventing it from qualifying as FOSS.)

      Source available ≠ FOSS. And Grayjay isn’t FOSS even if its source can be perused.

        TBH I don’t really care that much as long as the source is available. Some talented dev can fork it if the project goes sideways. I’d like a webapp/desktop app too

          Not without infringing copyright. At least not the way the license is written now.

        They don’t give a flying crap if you modify the source and compile it privately for yourself, they just don’t want people or companies making profit from their works or distributing said modifications without their approval.

          Then why do they leave permission to do so out of their license? (So far, at least.)

          That’s called “proprietary.”
