Added with https://github.com/duyfken/alternative-front-ends/commit/fd10c9eaa92dfc2bad8694a7fdb0821de9146bd4.

It has been added as a multi-service front-end, as in addition to Youtube, Grayjay also supports Kick, Rumble, Bitchute, Odysee, Patreon, Twitch, Spotify, Dailymotion, SoundCloud, Nebula, BiliBili and PeerTube.

I have also chosen to mention their Github (mirror) repository as their main repository as it appears to provide all the public issue tracking for this project.

Very good point about the multiple services. And thank you for adding it!

P.S., very nice fork of the other repo. The different branches between mobile/desktop/etc really help.

I'm not sure if there's a better way to implement it, but someone who is looking for a frontend for a specific service will most likely overlook the multi-service section. One thing you could consider is adding a shortcut in each relevant service, like such:

Or simply adding a hyperlink to the relevant service if there are URL anchors (e.g., [repo URL]#grayjay)

Especially when, with times, there will be more multi-services apps, they will become harder to surface (for the people who don't naturally use Ctrl+F)

When I noticed Grayjay was a multi-service app, this was something that I was contemplating. You mentioning it almost straight away, off your own back, reinforces it as a necessary step.

Added with https://github.com/duyfken/alternative-front-ends/commit/c22f2cd97f71980a4497cb2d9555a3051a13fa73 (Desktop branch) and https://github.com/duyfken/alternative-front-ends/commit/c3087042fa251111ae5117c08001f4a5a76036dd (Mobile branch).

Links to multi-service apps will only be provided in pre-existing sections (otherwise things will get out of control very quickly, due to multi-service apps like Ferdium, which cover hundreds of services).

Fair enough! Stay awesome ~
