I saw this app featured on a YouTube channel and thought it was pretty interesting, especially for GNOME users. However there is a rather weird thing about it: it claims to be using Piped for YouTube but it doesn’t get the “Sign in to confirm that you’re not a bot” error. I guess it uses a different API when Piped gives an error.

    Piped has been having problems with it lately. Pretty sure it’s YouTube cracking down on FOSS alternative APIs

      Why are Piped or Invidious used here or in FreeTube? Aren’t they serving the same functions?
