  I’ve been saying that for years. So many fantastic FOSS applications are obviously made by engineers for engineers.

    The FOSS community needs to expand outreach to UX Designers then.

      Is there some sort of FOSS UX club we can establish? Maybe partner with some artists?

        I literally just use Claude for UX. It makes my apps so pretty and intuitive and I don’t have to worry about boring UX design.

    IANADeveloper…but now I gotta wonder what the OS of choice for UX/frontend devs is. I want to guess macOS.

  FUTO’s line of projects seem to follow the same sort of pathway - Grayjay is incredibly easy to use :)

    I tried it and YouTube videos didn’t work for some reason. Said I needed to sign in. Never had that issue with NewPipe.

    I love FUTO’s products like their keyboard (what I’m typing this reponse on lol) and Immich, but slightly dislike their license for discrimination against commercial use and not copylefting.

      Not gonna lie, the line “discrimination against commercial use” just did more to get me to check em out than any of their own promotional material

        It sounds good in theory, but even for someone like me who is very leftist, I allow and encourage private companies to use my strong-copylefted GPLv3 software for commercial purposes.

        If more and more people write strong-copylefted software, the FOSS community will amass libraries that have no parallel available to proprietary software, and companies will be forced to use FOSS to be relevant.

        For more information, read www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html. This is why GPL over LGPL, but you can use the same logic to explain why software with a significant unique capability should be strong-copylefted.

        For something like a keyboard where every private company will just make their own for, I don’t really care whether FUTO discrimates against commercial use or not. For apps like Immich though, I am a little saddened that it is not strong-copylefted.

      You need to enable the setting in sources for the bypass. Youtube started putting in soft bans for VPN IPs and age restricted videos by forcing users to sign in (even in a web browser). Grayjay does have a bypass, which sometimes can counter the issue (you also can disable the login fallback so you don’t get asked to sign in anymore).
