Invidious needs your help!
invidious[1] is an open alternative frontend to youtube with low bullshit, that works without js. It's written in Crystal. The core developer decided it was too much for them and has taken a (likely permanent) break from the project[2], and the community is struggling to maintain it[3] because there's very few people who have ever seen or heard of Crystal and like youtube-dl it's subject to breakage whenever google tweaks something on the youtube page. If you are a Crystal person and this is of interest to you, please help. For a bit more information on the way the code is structured and the current work that's happening, see [4]
