Hello, I’m the developer behind Materialious. Perhaps you came across my post a few weeks back regarding the launch of my Material design frontend for Invidious.
I’m reaching out to gauge interest in expanding Materialious to serve as a unified interface for TikTok (Via Proxitok), Twitch (Via SafeTwitch), YouTube (Via Invidious), and potentially even search (Via SearxNG).
I’d love to hear your ideas and thoughts on this!
Isn’t just a theme, is a completely different application built on top of Invidious’ API. What works completely differently to Invidious’ current UI. A LOT of things are handled different then how Invidious handles it on their frontend. Replacing Invidious current interface with Materialious isn’t a good idea, because its quite a bit bigger & requires JS compared to Invidious’ current UI.
Calling Materialious a theme would be like calling clipious a theme.
yeah but clipious just connects to existing invidious instances, so it’s just a frontend to invidious. you are making your own frontend and backend both
Materialious does currently just use Invidious’ API. If extending it requires a custom backend it will be a completely different project (what will still be using Invidious)
does it connect by default to already-existing invidious instances? guess im confused now
It requires the Invidious instance to have the correct COR values for Materialious, but yes connects to a existing instance.
