Hey, thx for the kind words about the project, and for taking the time to write this up (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
Just to clear up the NewPipe and FreeTube part: TypeType doesn’t use them, we run on PipePipeExtractor, and I contribute upstream to PipePipe whenever I can.
PipePipe is a different project with its own services and its own direction, and we have nothing to do with them these days.
On the generated code, I totally get the concern. It’s not a mass of code nobody ever looked at, I read what ships, I test it, and I maintain it myself. These days I also maintain it with other contributors, but I still review what goes in, for example https://github.com/TypeType-Video/TypeType-Frontend/pull/62
The disclosure is just me being honest about the tools involved. I understand why people focus on that first, with all the AI slop out there, but it’s a bit frustrating sometimes. There’s a real history behind the project, with reviews, tests and releases.
I try to stay as transparent as I can. And honestly, at the end of the day I have a great community, friendly and supportive, and that’s enough for me.
I just share the project to offer an alternative. Concretely, I have nothing to gain from it. As long as I’m alive, TypeType will be properly maintained ♡
