Cobb Hayes 42cb945654 Public-flip audit: scrub audit-ticket prefixes + LAN refs + tighten README 
URLs → git.sulkta.com. Audit-ticket prefixes (SPEC §N, audit Track X, vc=N
audit-fix, FIX (audit ...), PORT DEVIATION) stripped from comments — technical
reasoning retained. Crafting-table LAN refs softened to 'Sulkta build host'.
README sheds marketing scaffolding + stale status tables.

README.md

Straw

A Sulkta fork of NewPipe. Android YouTube client, Compose UI, Media3 player, with SponsorBlock and Return YouTube Dislike baked in.

The extractor is strawcore, a Rust port of NewPipeExtractor exposed to Kotlin via UniFFI. No InnerTube/JS deobf code path lives on the JVM anymore.

Install

F-Droid repo: https://fdroid.sulkta.com/fdroid/repo

Add the repo in your F-Droid client of choice, then install Straw.

The app also self-updates from the same repo when an APK lands there with a higher versionCode.

What's in

  • Search, video detail, channel pages, playlists
  • Inline player + fullscreen + minibar + background audio + PiP
  • Media3 ExoPlayer (DASH / HLS / progressive / merged DASH chunks)
  • SponsorBlock auto-skip (categories user-toggleable)
  • Return YouTube Dislike on video detail
  • RSS-based subscription feed (fast — ~1s for 50 subs)
  • Hide-shorts / hide-paid / hide-age-restricted feed filters
  • Resume positions + watch history + search history
  • Local playlists, downloads (video + audio)
  • NewPipe-format settings import (subs + playlists + history)

What's out (on purpose)

  • Trending / algorithmic feeds. Subscriptions only.
  • iOS / desktop targets. Android-only for now.
  • Google Play Services anything.

Layout

strawApp/   Sulkta-authored app — Compose UI, Media3 wiring, SB + RYD clients
rust/       strawcore — UniFFI wrapper around the Rust extractor
shared/     KMP scaffold inherited from upstream NewPipe (unused for now)
app/        Upstream NewPipe :app module — kept for reference

Build

./gradlew :strawApp:assembleDebug

Requires the Rust toolchain plus the four Android targets:

rustup target add aarch64-linux-android armv7-linux-androideabi \
                  x86_64-linux-android i686-linux-android
cargo install cargo-ndk uniffi-bindgen

…and ANDROID_NDK_HOME pointing at NDK r27c (or newer). The Gradle build runs cargo ndk + uniffi-bindgen automatically.

License

GPL-3.0-or-later, inherited from upstream NewPipe.
