Yesterday, I did a little bit of testing to #greyjay. It doesn't convince me fully, there's a couple of things there that I don't like (then again, maybe they just need getting used to), but its approach to things is something I do like.

If you don't know what it is, it's an android app that allows you to watch videos (and listen to music as well, apparently) hosted by a number of different platforms.

For instance, you can activate #youtube, #peertube and #twitch (and several other platforms) and have all the videos in the same place.

One thing I don't like is the fact that the peertube plugin restricts by default the search to the creator's instance, rendering it pretty useless at the start. You have to change it to sepia search yourself. An unnecessary annoyance.
