About Tubo

Tubo is a streaming aggregator for the web that aims to bring the NewPipe experience to a browser, with a clean and simple interface for watching content from services such as YouTube and SoundCloud without using their own sites.

It can be run with the provided Docker Compose file or a Nix flake, so you can host your own instance. The project is written in Clojure and ClojureScript.

Strengths

  • NewPipe-style experience in a web browser
  • Aggregates several streaming services in one interface
  • Docker Compose and Nix setup included

Limitations

  • Small project with a limited contributor base
  • Depends on upstream services not changing in ways that break extraction
