Maybe it looks identical on the surface but seems like you haven’t actually compared it by using it or looking at the features list on the site. I wanted to move away from using YouTube in the browser but wasn’t satisfied with FreeTube as it missed a lot of power-user features I have previously used extensions and userscripts for. To one of my feature-requests (channel-specific playback speed) they just said it’s “too niche” (as they do with a lot of them) what brought me to starting the project.

1·4 months agoI have set up a bot that automatically merges upstream code. I already released fixes earlier than FreeTube multiple times now. For example playlists that broke about a week ago are already fixed and released.
Yeah, I know, but sometimes I’m just not satisfied with the projects out there and would rather have my own where I can tweak every little detail. Another example is that I’m in the process of switching from Spotify to Navidrome right now but I haven’t found a good cross-platform FOSS client for it. I really liked Namida, but I don’t like their restrictive non-FOSS license and would add/remove/change some stuff. That’s why I started another music player app even tho there are even more of these ^^
