We've regularly shared our MRR numbers but I think after 10k we'll now keep it to more special milestones only.

I hope we've inspired you to consider a similar path as it can be done! See you at perhaps 20k (hopefully)🤞

if your cat often bothers you at your computer and walks all over your keyboard, it's because they're trying to join you and do what you're doing. It's a sign of affection!

⚠️ WARNING
Do NOT install #NewPipe through the Samsumg Galaxy Store!

A copy of #newpipe is currently distributed through the Samsung Galaxy Store by a third party. The package id of that version is identical to the officiail one (org.schabi.newpipe), but the signing keys differ.
Surprisingly, users running an outdated version recieve a notification to update their installed version with the one uploaded in the Galaxy Store.
