WHY / The story of ytify with n-ce

• I was an avid NewPipe user back in 2021, which I used for background playback.
• I noticed it wasn't able to stream under low network conditions.
• So i decided to create an issue.
• Upon finding no active resolution on the issue, I took it to myself and created this project on Jan 2022.

Privacy Policy 👁️

We use Beampipe Analytics for minimal site stats, only the browser user-agent data is collected anonymously for this. Everything else remains on your device only, which can also be cleared anytime.(Library>Clean, Settings>Restore Settings,Clear Caches). Why collect data? I do not possess a multitude of devices, the analytics help me figure out which devices are suffering from incompatibility or if a failed update has been made or if some API instance has stopped working.
