  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • yt-dlp

    A feature-rich command-line audio/video downloader

  • Seal is pretty good. It gets better if you add your own, custom yt-dlp commands. Other than that, Newpipe is also very good as the other commenter suggested.

  • termux-app

    Termux - a terminal emulator application for Android OS extendible by variety of packages.

  • If you're the nerdy type, Termux with yt-dlp installed is also very good. I've got a custom termux-url-opener script that I use instead of Seal sometimes when I need something specific (i.e., auto-numbering based on chapters, downloading Bandcamp albums with soundscrape, etc.).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • PowerTube

    PowerTube - Youtube-dl client for Android

  • powertube is a blessing. cant remember where i got it from (possibly someone recomended it here) but i found this link of the github page. downloads youtube videos and videos on a bunch of other sites (yes, even nsfw sites)
