24 alternatives to Tube PiP
Hi HN, I built an iOS app called Tube PiP because I was frustrated with the official YouTube app locking useful features behind Premium. Tube PiP gives you: - Picture-in-Picture (PiP) playback - Background / lock screen playback - Sleep timer - No ads - Hide Shorts (for sanity) All the stuff you normally have to pay for—free. App Store link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tube-pip-pip-for-youtube/id647... I’d love to hear what you think. Feedback, bug reports, feature requests—bring it on!

We built this free little notification bar so you could add it to your site and show your opposition to PIPA/SOPA without having to black out. The text never changes, there's no account needed or anything like that, and you can take it down whenever.

Free to try: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/demo-scope/id6755395174 Would love feedback if anyone tries it. I made a landing site centered around mobile demos for professional projects, but my main use case honestly has been Twitch…
