Is NewPipeX a legit project? (github.com)

I was searching for any native(non-proxied) YouTube client for Android in kotlin.

I found this which is making me excited, but in the same time I am worried about its security and privacy that make me unable to install it.

Does anyone know the developer and is the app safe and private?

What do you mean with non-proxied?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Not using the Piped or Invidious API to proxy the video stream, since these tend to get blocked by YouTube really quickly

@Andromxda @naeap it's odd but the mobile app versions of these proxies services seem to work longer vs the desktop versions... #freetube for example, android app now connects, but desktop says you can't view since you're not logged in.

Does not use projects like piped.

Ah, ok, thanks

Was thinking like, opposite of native. Aber that didn't really made sense for me.
