Straw runs on the strawcore Rust pipeline and ships only :strawApp — it is not NewPipe and uses none of their app code. Removes the 12M org.schabi.newpipe :app module (the fork base) and the unused NewPipe-origin KMP :desktopApp/:shared scaffold. settings.gradle now includes only :strawApp; also drops the NewPipe SPDX header + the NewPipeExtractor includeBuild stub. This also kills the recurring config-time git failure from app/build.gradle.kts.
Initial Sulkta fork of NewPipe with a new :strawApp module that ships a
clean Compose-based Android APK at applicationId com.sulkta.straw.
What's here:
- :strawApp — thin Android application shell, MaterialTheme + StrawHome
Composable. Lives alongside legacy :app so we don't break upstream.
- buildSrc — STRAW_APPLICATION_ID/VERSION constants alongside the existing
NEWPIPE_APPLICATION_ID_OLD/NEW.
- docs/sulkta — RECON.md (NewPipe codebase breakdown) + DECISIONS.md
(stack + scope decisions).
NewPipe's :shared KMP scaffold is at 892 LOC and renders nothing; this
fork picks up there and races ahead. Day-1 ships a hello APK; day-2 wires
NewPipeExtractor + Media3 player + SponsorBlock + Return YouTube Dislike.
GPL-3.0-or-later per upstream.
