    An Open Source YouTube app for privacy

    • There’s also FreeTube, which is cross-platform and actively maintained. It includes lots of privacy features and works very well.

  • Electron

    :electron: Build cross-platform desktop apps with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS

    • OP I see what you're doing here by rendering the webpage using WebView. You might want to look into electron for this. It has some nice built-in features that might make development a bit easier on you. It also has support for M1 Silicon
