Github (Leave a star if you want)

Hosted instance

Thank you & yes my taste is on point.

Great effort, beautiful interface

But I prefer the minimalist and snappier invidious interface. + Invidious is already slow at fixing issues even with the good userbase, I don’t know fast this project will be at fixing YouTube constant changes.

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

Take for instance Likes and dislikes counts are broken on all invidious instances, but on materialious they are displayed with no problem, are you telling me the invidious API was returning the counts just fine but they didn’t bother fixing the interface for months now ???

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

Nice. I was looking to see if there was an easy way to somehow have a Non-JS version, but yeah, using Svelte … Not gonna happen without more or less a separate rewrite.

I usually just browse invidious via a redirect extension and a !yt bang via duckduckgo, then just grab the invidious link to use with yt-dlp though, so I don’t really even see the invidious ui for longer than a second.

This looks nice. Modern design looks well thought out. Good job.

Really cool, particularly the inbuilt sponsorblock and dislikes. Those are something I’ve been missing in my own Invidious. I’ll still stick with the original interface, but keep up the good work!

I don’t use invidious much, but this seems easy to use and friendly! Much better than the default from a new user perspective. My only complaint is please use a dropdown or radio select for the quality instead of a slider, using the slider input makes me feel dirty.

It also doesnt seem to remember the selection, every video i need to bump it back up off 340p

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

Exzellent work. Will probably get around to installing an instance for friends and family. This seems quite user-friendly.

Would your software be more light wheight than freetube? I need something for an old machine and this looks great.

It’s very similar to FreeTube, which looks really cool.

Fantastic work, love the built in sponsor block integration. Is it possible to also include support for DeArrow ?

How would someone install this instead of the YouTube app on a NVIDIA Shield 2017?

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

You can install smarttube next on your shield. It has sponsor block as well as regular ad block

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

We got freetube too, you can always play on mpv
