You can also contribute to PipeLine, it’s a desktop client that aggregates YouTube and a few others. And it’s written in Rust.
The issue with YouTube is the network effect though. Even if you can get a lot of users to use one of those multi platform clients, it’s still hard to get the creators to leave. And till they stay, the users stay.
No Android fork that I know of, but the APIs are separate crates from the gtk ui so there’s nothing stopping you from using those crates to create an Android app unless there’s some dependency that doesn’t sit well with Android or something - I haven’t tried it.
