It is a team of devs that produce a complete product and we need each other's expertise.. yes I know how to do the different requirements but to make a deadline that's not gonna happen not to mention the fact we all have things we just do better than others.. so I'll keep working with my Dev Brother's from around the world... I have too many friends from all over who when we get together produce amazing things that make HUMANS of all nation's lives better.

I don't want to be a part of the global bolshevik marketplace. maps.me is way better than Google maps. And it's offline. You really don't need to open the youtube application for any reason. You can use a browser which supports compression when you are on mobile data and a normal browser at home. As to the playstore - aptoide is a very good alternative, uptodown as well. And there's always apkpure. I'm trying to get LineageOS, have to change the device though.

                                  If Huawei wants to make an alternative to YT, it must be another platform altogether, not just access it. You can't just put a coat of paint on it and say it's a brand new platform

                                    Everything that is not officially pushed by some big company is less secure in your opinion.

                                    As I said, never had a problem with apps downloaded from other reliable sources.
                                    Technically challenged users can keep crying malware when it doesn't fit your narrative.

I said Aptoide is a malware store and nothing else. And I said that if YLVR is just a YouTube client, you are not fixing the problem. My comment literally never said that YLVR was malware.

                                        Az2apk sounds like a piracy website. Even better... Plus those public sites never have malware....
