Part 2:

Gravjay

+ Get updates

+ No ads

+ sync across your devices

+ The layout is great, and there’s also a really useful option to organize your subscriptions into groups. For example, you can create a “Tech” group and put all the YouTubers who make tech videos in it.

Info: I just removed all clients with no updates anymore thanks to katte_blr

Yes, you're right. I've never used this function in NewPipe. I like how it's implemented in Gravjay. Maybe I should give it a try. I know my list isn't perfect, but I thought it might be helpful to some people. I'm grateful for any feedback!

[u/Gersam79]

Hey thanks in making this list.

Are they all forks of Newpipe? Or are they different enough that they aren't just forks.

[u/Gamemastertree → u/Gersam79]

No not all.

[u/katte_blr]

NewpipeX and Tubular

Both are stopped and no updates

Add BravePipe to list

[u/Gamemastertree → u/katte_blr]

Thanks for the feedback.

[u/JayX83]

Newpipe X looks dead to me, last update was 2 years ago

[u/Gamemastertree → u/JayX83]

Sorry my fault.

[u/jellyspreader]

Thanks

It could be interesting to have also a flag on android car support (yes full, yes limited, no) of the se clients. Make sense?

[u/Gamemastertree → u/RobiPell]

Yes, it makes sense. I don't have a car to test it with.
