I'm joining the LP gang

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/ErgoMechKeyboards

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • SmartTube

    SmartTube - an advanced player for set-top boxes and tvs running Android OS

    I'd recommend just sticking to some combo of UBlock Origin, Invidious instances, the SponsorBlock browser extension to auto-skip in-video ads (you can manually add Invidious instances to skip), SmartTubeNext for Android TV and Amazon Fire devices (has SponsorBlock built in), and/or something like NewPipe or YouTube Vanced for an Android client.

  • NewPipe

    A libre lightweight streaming front-end for Android.

  • 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.

  • uYouPlus

    uYou+ is a modified version of uYou (made by @MiRO92) with additional features and mainly made for non jailbroken users!

    Install UYouPlus using AltStore or Sideloadly).

  • linkding

    Self-hosted bookmark manager that is designed be to be minimal, fast, and easy to set up using Docker.

    I'm going to put those links you gave me into my [linkding](https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding) bookmarks for future reference; might be useful to pass on to others interested in an ad-free YT experience, too. Would rather not give Google money for YT Premium, but maybe that's just me.

  • alternative-frontends

    🔐🌐 Privacy-respecting web frontends for popular services

    That’s kinda of a ramble but it’s the best way I can put it perspective. If it helps at all I highly suggest using PrivacyGuides, alternativeto, Alternative Frontends, and Awesome Privacy. The r/privacyguides sub will also be helpful for most questions you may want to ask. As for your YT Premium concerns... Don’t bother giving Google a cent. Not even for storage (which used to be unlimited, lol). Ublock Origin for blocking all ads on whatever browsers you use, and there are loads of yt apps like you said for andriod. You already know I’m sure, but I wouldn’t give a shit about Youtube Premium, ever. Not even worth the money for something that easily be blocked on anything, and getting video downloads even better then what they provide.

  • awesome-privacy

    Awesome Privacy - A curated list of services and alternatives that respect your privacy because PRIVACY MATTERS.
