Contribution to Open Source: Suggestions to improve an app named NewPipe. Part-1
About NewPipe
NewPipe is an app which does not use any Google framework libraries or the Youtube API. It only parses the website in order to gain the info it requires. Therefore this app can be used on devices without Google services installed on the phone. Also you dont need a youtube account to use the app.
SUGGESTION-1
LOGIN FEATURE
As the app suggests, there is no need of a google/youtube account to use the app but there is no option to log into the account for users who wish to log in.
By putting in the login feature the app can display the videos as per Users preference.
SUGGESTION-2
LIKE OR UNLIKE THE VIDEOS
Option to LIKE, UNLIKE the video is available in the app but the user is not able to use the said feature as there is no option to link the app with youtube account.
The user will be able to LIKE or UNLIKE the videos as per their preference.
SUGGESTION-3
PLAYLIST AND WATCH LATER FEATURE
There is no option to create your own playlist or add any videos to the created playist. Also the 'Watch Later' feature is also not available.
The user will be able to add their favourite videos or videos which they want to watch later which would save their time.
The above suggestions may be helpful to synchronise the app and the youtube account which can unlock many features.
Will provide more suggestions, if found any in the future .
Thank you
