      With a custom, very restrictive license. Builds are not reproducible, and code from the project cannot be used elsewhere. For the purposes of security, transparency, and advancing development of (proper) FOSS YouTube clients, Grayjay is effectively closed source.

  Never heard of it but absolutely checking this one out.

  I am still hoping invidious will also take this route as i love the ability to self self host to retain my user data.

    You can already do that with PeerTube proper.

      I gladly hear that i am wrong here but i think PeerTube only works with PeerTube sources, and definitely not youtube sources.

        I meant as far as being able to self host and retain your user data, at least on PT anyways, you can do that by design and unless Google broke the ability to mirror to alternative platforms, you could mirror your YT stuff over.
