Shorts are the bane of my ADHD ass

I'm going to have to look into Greyjay for sure just for the no shorts part

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Yeah I hear ya, same here. Fuck shorts.

Grayjay is from Louis Rossmann, one of the biggest advocates for right to repair. It costs 10 dollars, one time payment, but if you don't pay it also works. It's open source. If you have an issue and mail then, they actually respond (fast) to try to solve the issue, or make changes to the app to make it better. It's really great what they do. And YouTube hates him.

Isn't it only source available, and not open source, due to a restriction on reusing the code?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Louis said in the announcing video it's open source, anyone is free to do with it what they want, even if they want to exclude the 10 dollar payment in it. He really doesn't give a shit.

He did give a warning though:

"if you dare to put malware in it or any other malicious shit, I will hunt you down and destroy you."

I picked up Grayjay so I can actually watch early access videos from creators I follow on Patreon. I honestly love how it seamlessly integrates multiple services around creators. Also supports Nebula, and IMO provides a nicer experience compared to the official app.

Personally I still use NewPipe (Tubular fork) for my daily viewing just because I kind of prefer that UI

TIL Louis Rossmann somehow more based than I believed
