Anyone else use freetube?

It is in the process of being rewritten and now doesn’t require a working invidous instance to operate, using a similar local api method to newpipe. New version is still in beta and whilst still a couple of features missing it seems to be working well.
Used in combination with youtube-dl it provides a much more private way of searching youtube content, managing channels and playlists, and downloading what you wish to view externally … or viewed within freetube if that is your preference.
The previous version of freetube with a hard dependency on a working invidous backend basically broke with the folding of invidio.us and burnout of the main invidious developer, so this new version is great.
