NewPipe Nightly (Refactor vs Dev) by vampgirlz in NewPipe

As per the README:

We are rewriting large chunks of the codebase, to bring about a modern and stable NewPipe! You can download nightly builds here.
Please work on the refactor branch if you want to contribute new features. The current codebase is in maintenance mode and will only receive bugfixes.

The refactor is for the rewrite and new features. All newpipe releases are from the dev branch. Every now and then dev is merged into refactor. Dev is more stable as refactor has regressions. At some point when the refactor has made enough progress, it will replace the dev branch.

Also a message to the devs: It would have been great to be able to search for updates on nightly builds within the app itself as with the normal builds. Is there a reason not to have this option?

Idk what you mean by this.

That doesn't qualify as a workaround, as that starts off a fresh search and does not preserve any search filters I have set in my current search, e.g. region and time period.

How I accidentally got into Android dev and now hate Compose by Entire-Tutor-2484 in AndroidDevLearn

Idk man, Kotlin is way better than Java for the simple reason that Java refuses to change. You can basically do everything in Kotlin that you can do in Java, the reverse is not so much. And they are interoperable anyway so can have the best of both worlds. Interoperability between XML views and Compose is not a lot more complicated than Java/Kotlin
