Lightweight Anonymous YouTube proxy.
Created and maintained by Yonle, Self taught programmer from Indonesia but also coding on a mobile device.
At March 16th 2021, I am disappointed with YouTube's multiple inappropriate advertisement that also appears in my Sibling device.
At the same day, in my personal Telegram channel:
It's horrible to see some ads that shows inappropriate even it's repetitive, Also it's unskippable like what the hell? Lacks of support, Even you report it still showing that jeez. I know ads is for supporting content creator but This issue getting even worse, Like at every video they're put an ads like smh, What do they want?
Even a incident at a month ago, showing nudity ads at my screen and my little brother screen, Too crazy. It's time to leave that holy platform, I won't buy Youtube Premium, anymore.
The project is planned also at March 16th 2021. At first, I do not know what is the name of this project. This project, till today, is still one of my Hobby project.
The first ytmous commit is this:

First Release
Initially created with Bootstrap 5 at the time. Most of the frontend code is the result of copy pasting from Bootstrap 5 examples.
The backend is done with NodeJS, With ExpressJS for routing, ejs for rendering, ytdl-core for fetching informations & streaming link, ytsr and ytpl for searching videos.
At the time, ytmous was licensed under Creative Common License.
The Two years of lazyness release is an release after delayed development for over 2 years, With new simplified interface. Most of frontend codes being rewritten from scratch, And code is being relicensed under BSD 3 Clause.
No.
Could be somewhat inspired, depending on the project that you mean.
As you can see, My YouTube account is still fine. Just like the other does.
No. If you would like, ytmous let you customize your frontend for your own server.
Go ahead. I am not an corporation.
One question. Do you think this is appropriate?
Would you like me or other person to do the same with one of your work?
No. Discord is not privacy-respecting instant messenger.
No. That's not the goal of this project.
Anybody that use third party software (including ytmous) that could download YouTube video is considered breaking TOS.
However, Since lot of peoples gonna use third party software to download YouTube videos anyway, Yep, You could not feel the pain.
As the project disclaimer said, ytmous could fetch, stream or download videos from YouTube, even copyrighted ones. Clients are expected to respect all copyright laws.
Yes. For more than a year.
Yes.
It is now dead as Heroku stop providing free dynos and being replaced as https://ytmous.yonle.repl.co
No. I do not want to rely or even trust with third parties.
There's no guarantee whenever the ytmous server owner logs incomming traffics or no. It is all depends on whenever you trust the server owner or no.
No.
No.
No.
No. Fork it in your own.
Until Google sue you
Depending on the feature that you asked.
Third party features is a big no no. If you still want it, Fork it.
No.
23. Please i beg you, i will pay you billion of dollars to implement X feature (or i will die in your face)
No.
Your dog died due to lack of your responsibilities
So do you.
I am gravely disappointed
No.
No.
No.
Go ahead, you god damn weeb.
No.
The first question that you need to ask is why global warming just kept increasing by day to day and why it never got decreased
And yep, Due to Global warming that cook the ocean every morning, That's why the ocean is soup.
