Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.

I’m intrigued, but this seems like the perfect spot to put malware.

Its open source and Louis Rossman has a big following. If it ever gets anything malicious put in it the world will know quickly.

It isn’t open source, the licence violates point six of the open source definition

it’s open source, just not Open Source

It is open source. And it is free as in beer. It’s not free as in speech though. But I understand his reasons and they are justifiable IMO given the android ecosystem.

Are we talking about Grayjay from the video or the link in the comment I replied to?
SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
it’s open source. feel free to check and compile it yourself.
In fact, Louis adresses the malware problem in the video

I’m not asking about the video, it looks legit. I’m wondering about the comment with a link that I replied to.

The app is open source. Rossman even tells you to check yourself

That would help if I had any idea what I’m doing with code.
I just know I see a comment with a link to something different from what’s in the video posted above, and I’m not sure about clicking that link in the comment.

The license chosen expressly allows him to release the dogs on anyone who modifies the app for the purposes of malware distribution
