The official invidio.us instance will be shutting down on 1st Sept and the lead developer will be stepping away from the project.

    Noooooooooo. :( I’m confused. It seems it could stay alive bc it’s open source though. It’s a pretty widely used service. Hopefully it doesn’t die.

      Yea, I self-host my own instance that I use every day, so I hope it doesn't die. Looking at the commits though, it looks like the majority of the dev work was being done by Omar (the lead dev).

        True but like is it not just a nice web ui for YouTube-dl ? Like it should be pretty easy to simply maintain... but maybe not I dunno.

          I could be wrong, but I believe invidious uses it's own API
