Sluis

Sluis is my latest project. It’s a new desktop-optimised frontend for Piped. For context, Piped is a proxy that allows people to interact with content on YouTube, without comprising their privacy. You can read more about how Piped works on their GitHub: TeamPiped/Piped.

On android various apps like LibreTube exist, which make using Piped much easier and smoother. On the web the only option is the Piped frontend, like on piped.video. This frontend works fine, but I wanted to make an alternative that’s easier to use while also being desktop-optimised and keeping most of the features the piped.video frontend has.

Sluis is the result of that. So far it offers most of the features that piped.video offers, with the exception of playlists. It’s built with SvelteKit, shadcn-svelte, Tailwind CSS and of course the privacy-focused Piped backend for interacting with YouTube.

Current features of Sluis (and piped.video) include:

  • Video player built-in Sponsorblock
  • Comments
  • Subscriptions with feed
  • Trending
  • Search
  • Watch history

With more features like playlists planned for the future, Sluis will be a great alternative frontend to piped.video. Feel free to contribute to the project if you have any suggestions or ideas. Contributions can be made via GitHub.
