The one final legacy app that I have maintained under my state given identity was YouTube. I did this because I found having a youtube subscription and avoiding advertisements was such a plus.

After upgrading GrapheneOS, I came across NewPipe on the Zapstore.


NewPipe may just be the app I have been looking for. Seems to play all YouTube videos without advertisements and keeps all my subscriptions local. Also makes downloading videos super easy. Honestly it works better than the YouTube app for now.


The challenge of course for such apps is maintaining access over time as the service makes changes to fight third party apps.


Now on my wish-list is modifying NewPipe such that you can download videos to a blossom server, and then repost on nostr.
