Resume + Enrichment stores no longer JSON-decode on the main thread in Application.onCreate (Resume is the heaviest cold-start cost: ~50-100ms decode at its 100k-entry cap). Both seed an empty StateFlow and hydrate off-thread on their PrefsWriter single-thread dispatcher. Mutations that arrive before the hydrate finishes defer onto that FIFO dispatcher (a hydrated gate) so they re-run on fully-loaded state -- correct for adds AND clears; a naive loaded+live merge would resurrect a clear that landed on the empty seed. Subscriptions/Playlists/History/Settings stay eager (tiny + rendered directly -> would flash empty). (audit 2.1) Video page: details/related rows no longer leak into the status-bar strip above the player when scrolled. topPadding is now a layout inset on the detail LazyColumn, so the scroll viewport begins+clips at the player's bottom edge instead of letting rows scroll up over the clock/signal. RYD: dropped the dead rating + view_count fields from the strawcore RydVotes FFI Record + Kotlin shim -- only likes/dislikes are rendered; RYD's rating restates the like/dislike ratio and its viewCount is a stale aggregate conflicting with the real YouTube count already shown. (audit #2 L-9) Adversarially reviewed (Opus): clear-resurrection closed, no defer-loop, FFI slim has no readers. Headless compileDebugKotlin green. |

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.
