@nahuelwexd alright, Real Opinion Time™hmmmmmm I don't think the HdyViewSwitcherBar with that "Library" button works very intuitively? But with the current HIG and widgets it seems like a compromise is needed

@nipos You've never heard of Replay because I never finished it 😜. It's a YouTube client that I am making for GNOME, 'cause I'm tired of opening the browser for everything, it's slow and ugly, not a good experience.I'll probably add more backends later (when I finish the app) including PeerTube, which I found interesting

@nahuelwexd That sounds interesting 😃 Will it work with Youtube-DL in the background?Because Google is an asshole and shouldn't be able to mine data and earn ad money from the app.

@nipos The idea is to use the YouTube Data API to get the list of videos and youtube-dl to play themI have observed that youtube-dl provides a way for me to write the stream directly to the stdout, so that will do the trick for me

@nahuelwexd That sounds great from a privacy perspective but using an official API may not be a good idea because they will revoke your API key when your app gets popular and you don't show their ads.That's what broke Hooktube,which is only a iframe to the official embed player nowadays 😕 Scraping the data from the publicly available HTML page is more difficult but protects you from getting banned.That's how Invidious and NewPipe work.

@nipos 🤔 weird then that other apps that I know haven't died yet (such as MyTube in Windows 10)Indeed, web scraping is not pretty, hmm :/ And in fact it could be broken with some redesign of the YouTube website

@nahuelwexd I don't know exactly how MyTube works but I know that Hooktube was banned for using the official API and Invidious,NewPipe and Youtube-DL,which are scraping the page,can always work around blocks and changes even if that means that they're broken for a short period of time until anyone fixes it again.
