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).
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.
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)
I like the idea of materialious and am interested in its expansion into other projects (does proxitok even work right now?). But I would prefer it if it was more of a theme for each project instead of a new service, though adding in features aside from theming would probably be harder🤔
Yea, Materialious is a bit more complex then a theme as it has a lot of custom client side logic (Like sync parties, playlists, etc).
If I expanded Materialious you’d still be able to use just Invidious or Safetwitch etc.
But Materialious at its core would still be built off the API of giants. So it wouldn’t be reinventing the wheel for scrapping/handling data from twitch, YouTube etc.
Haven’t used Proxitok in a while, so not sure if its working currently. Seems to be in active development tho. Misspoken, doesn’t appear to be working & hasn’t been updated in awhile

It requires the Invidious instance to have the correct COR values for Materialious, but yes connects to a existing instance.

I believe loading videos directly works, but discover/trending doesn’t to my understanding.
The prospect of an unified frontend for all social media is also kind of appealing, ngl😄
Yea just need to avoid it from being bloated. The idea would be to have a global feed, what you can filter by platform.
