Yeah if you are running a private instance, you look like legitimate traffic to Google.

This can actually use Invidious as its backend if someone wants to.

Its basically just a more feature rich Invidious whata easier to deploy.

Invidious is currently broken due to Google changing things trying to stop 3rd party clients. But eventually Invidious will catch up and Google will give up for a bit.

yea considering its FOSS it was good enough compared to a lot of the other clients for me to move away from Symfonium

Waterfox is a neat project, but is often slow to implement security patches from Firefox upstream.

Materialious contains zero trackers. Believe this was a issue with ublock falsely flagging local fonts as trackers or something, someone else open a issue on the repo with a similar issue. Feel free to review the source code for any trackers.

Ward OP ,

Materialious doesn't use remote fonts by default, only as a backup if local font loading fails. For some reason ublock in hard mode makes local font fail loading & remote font is used.

Yea, Materialious is a bit more complex then a theme as it has a lot of custom client side logic (Like sync parties, playlists, etc).

If I expanded Materialious you’d still be able to use just Invidious or Safetwitch etc.

But Materialious at its core would still be built off the API of giants. So it wouldn’t be reinventing the wheel for scrapping/handling data from twitch, YouTube etc.

Haven’t used Proxitok in a while, so not sure if its working currently. Seems to be in active development tho. Misspoken, doesn’t appear to be working & hasn’t been updated in awhile

Yea just need to avoid it from being bloated. The idea would be to have a global feed, what you can filter by platform.

I believe loading videos directly works, but discover/trending doesn’t to my understanding.

Isn’t just a theme, is a completely different application built on top of Invidious’ API. What works completely differently to Invidious’ current UI. A LOT of things are handled different then how Invidious handles it on their frontend. Replacing Invidious current interface with Materialious isn’t a good idea, because its quite a bit bigger & requires JS compared to Invidious’ current UI.

Calling Materialious a theme would be like calling clipious a theme.

Ward OP ,

Materialious does currently just use Invidious’ API. If extending it requires a custom backend it will be a completely different project (what will still be using Invidious)

Ward OP ,
@Ward@lemmy.nz avatar

It requires the Invidious instance to have the correct COR values for Materialious, but yes connects to a existing instance.

Ward OP ,
@Ward@lemmy.nz avatar

fair enough! Materialious very much meant for people who use Invidious and are comfortable with JS.

Ward OP ,
@Ward@lemmy.nz avatar

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

Ward OP ,
@Ward@lemmy.nz avatar

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

@Ward@lemmy.nz avatar

Yea the slider was the default component vidstack uses, I do agree it would be a good idea to use a drop down instead.

Ward OP ,
@Ward@lemmy.nz avatar

Yes! DeArrow support is planned

Materialious is a web app. Check out Clipious for a native Android Invidious client with support for Android TV.

Thank you & yes my taste is on point.

Yes anyone can host Materialious on their own server! Does require you to host Invidious too.

Ward OP ,
@Ward@lemmy.nz avatar

yup

Material design 3 was released in 2021, so I’d call that somewhat modern and is the latest release of Material design. Unlike Apple’s design language Material design is also meant for the web.

There is already a Invidious interface for Apple devices, but ofc isn’t a web interface like Materialious.

Thanks for your interested. Currently this is just a alternative frontend for Invidious. But I am open to integrating other services into Materialious.

Ward OP ,
@Ward@lemmy.nz avatar

I enjoy confusing people.

Home page is the “popular” page what is pulled from Invidious’ API. Basically just the popular videos people have been watching on that instance.

has been a old and off project for a few months. Would call it niche in terms of people who care about e2ee tools, but in general how insecure surveys are shouldn’t be as common place as it is.
