   To be honest, YouTube is not only a platform where you can watch /download the video ,but a wonderful field where you can share and grow personally and help oher people to flourish through sharing your vision , art ,creativity ,etc.

   I like the idea of YouTube serving as a search engine and an entertaining feat

SmartTube mentions (15)

• YouTube gets more aggressive in pushing adblock warnings with countdown timer

  Protip: You should download a non-stock YouTube app to your TV instead, for instance: https://smartyoutubetv.github.io It has YouTube premium and more, e.g. Sponsor lock, it's over all superior. And free. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• What have you given up due to the cost of living crisis?

  SmartTube is nice for the TV too if you have a firestick or something you can install it on, because as well as getting rid of ads it has sponsorblock built in. Source: 10 months ago

• Google un-bans Downloader app, but developer still mad about “broken” DMCA

  I think there might be more to this story. This app is what people generally use to sideload apps on a locked Google TV device such as the Google Chromecast. One such commonly sideloaded app is SmartTube, an unofficial YouTube client with no ads and SponsorBlock included: https://smartyoutubetv.github.io/ I'm not surprised Google is eager to take it down under any pretext, and not so eager to restore it. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

  Im talking about this one https://smartyoutubetv.github.io/ . If you click "fork me" It takes you to next. On the tv its named "SmartTube" with a red logo. App info gives the package name as com.teamsmart.videomanager.tv V18.15. Source: 11 months ago

• Mini ponds are 'tiny universes' of biodiversity for gardens and windowsills

  If you don't have the space for a pond, you can grow interesting critters in a jar on the windowsill. And if you don't have time for that, you can veg out to the Life In Jars channel: https://youtube.com/@LifeinJars. - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago
