Lighttube - A lightweight, privacy respecting alternative frontend for YouTube written in ASP.NET
An alternative YouTube front end written in ASP.NET - GitHub - kuylar/lighttube: An alternative YouTube front end written in ASP.NET
They have an IzzyOnDroid app in early development.
edit: Here are the instances that are up at the moment:
Now THIS is epic!
- It's fast
- It's FOSS
- It's private
- It supports accounts
- It has an app
- It can play YouTube Music tracks
- The UI is pretty nice
Very well done, everyone! Please accept a star on GitHub.
16I had no problem with the previous two frontends (Piped, Invidious). But the main problem with this type of application is that when an enough number of users are reached, YouTube starts banning requests from their instances. Have the authors of this frontend thought about how they will solve this?
11A feature I found particularly interesting is the ability to view community posts which I haven’t seen in any other frontends.
Invidious supports community posts.
10Oops, I didn't notice that. I'll remove that part.

Care to elaborate how this differs from invidious and piped?
6Should I try it instead of Piped? If so, why?
6Probably not, Piped supports higher resolutions and better video formats.

Thanks for sharing. This seems MUCH faster than Invidious.
6hi, LT contributor/hoster here. me and kuylar did not expected this amount of star activity on LT repo, lol thanks for posting LT here! -InF
5Well I checked their instance and get this message (No compatible source was found)
. But I keep my fingers crossed for the development!5It's working well on my end. They also have a few other instances up, maybe try those out?
4I got the same error. I’m gonna check that on my computer later and see if it works (I wast trying it on mobile). And I checked that without an account so maybe I need that too to change some settings. Thanks for the links! It’s good to heave some other front ends besides Invidious and Piped :)
3It's working and damn it's so fast compared to Invidious and Piped. Thank you so much for that post!!

Lower your resolution and see if that helps. I get a similar error using Freetube (Windows) when I select a resolution over 720p.
4we have fixed those a while ago, now everything should be right we're getting a website real soon also, with list of instances

@Zenaida_macroura i'm probably one of the only people that actually likes that current youtube layout. Just make some overhauls here and there, and it's practically alright.
hopefully there's more instances that show up in the near future, and the development goes pretty smoothly..
4I wish I could bookmark/save things I also wish that somebody makes an addon of this for kodi.
4I really like that UI compared to Invidous' Are these videos proxied, so will my IP address be known to Google?
3They say the videos are proxied in the github's readme. Your IP should be safe.
8Images don't seem to be proxied.

This is awesome!
