    I don’t use invidious much, but this seems easy to use and friendly! Much better than the default from a new user perspective. My only complaint is please use a dropdown or radio select for the quality instead of a slider, using the slider input makes me feel dirty.

    Really cool, particularly the inbuilt sponsorblock and dislikes. Those are something I’ve been missing in my own Invidious. I’ll still stick with the original interface, but keep up the good work!

    Great effort, beautiful interface

    But I prefer the minimalist and snappier invidious interface. + Invidious is already slow at fixing issues even with the good userbase, I don’t know fast this project will be at fixing YouTube constant changes.

      This interface uses the Invidious API. So if YouTube breaks Invidious & Materialious, once Invidious is fixed, Materialious is also fixed.

        Take for instance Likes and dislikes counts are broken on all invidious instances, but on materialious they are displayed with no problem, are you telling me the invidious API was returning the counts just fine but they didn’t bother fixing the interface for months now ???

          Materialious uses ReturnYouTubeDislikes for dislikes and likes, this option can be disabled in settings.

    Exzellent work. Will probably get around to installing an instance for friends and family. This seems quite user-friendly.

    So I’ve been switching l over from YouTube, but what’s this got over stuff like other invidious servers or piped

    Edit: also what’s dash do?

    Nice. I was looking to see if there was an easy way to somehow have a Non-JS version, but yeah, using Svelte … Not gonna happen without more or less a separate rewrite.

    I usually just browse invidious via a redirect extension and a !yt bang via duckduckgo, then just grab the invidious link to use with yt-dlp though, so I don’t really even see the invidious ui for longer than a second.

    This looks nice. Modern design looks well thought out. Good job.

    Would your software be more light wheight than freetube? I need something for an old machine and this looks great.

      You can install smarttube next on your shield. It has sponsor block as well as regular ad block
