Piped-Material is a fork of Piped, an alternative client to YouTube. I have tried to improve the performance, the design and efficiency.
There are a few things that PM does better, like watch history tracking, and compares favorably to Piped's features.
As a byproduct, the code is also much cleaner, dysfunctional patterns and paradigms have been replaced with clean, beautiful code :).
There's a branch implementing preferences & watch history syncing, with PBKDF2-based or Web3 wallet-based key generation using EDS at the feature-eds_2 branch. This is deployed at eds-v2.piped.১.net.

Production instances are updated infrequently, and do not include features that are introduced recently without extensive testing.
There's a Dockerfile to build a Piped-Material deployment (using a simple nginx server hosting the SPA files) located here. It can be customized with build arguments. Piped-Material is just a SPA so yarn install; yarn run build is enough to generate static files.
