Feature Request: Integration with Invidious Proxy for YouTube Recommendations
Hi, this a report of a cool feature to have, this is just a suggestion if anyone has the courage and time to do it.
Description:
I'd like to propose a feature enhancement for the Tournesol application. Currently, there exists an extension for integrating recommendations with YouTube. However, it isn't implemented on Invidious, which is a free proxy allowing anonymous querying of YouTube.
Why Integration Matters:
Privacy Concerns: Invidious serves as a privacy-focused proxy for YouTube, enabling users to access content without being tracked by YouTube's algorithms. Integrating Tournesol with Invidious would extend this privacy-centric approach to recommendation systems, giving users more control over their data.
Accessibility: Some users rely on Invidious due to regional restrictions or censorship concerns. Enabling Tournesol's recommendation engine on Invidious would ensure that users across various regions can benefit from personalized recommendations, enhancing their overall user experience.
Diverse User Base: By integrating with Invidious, Tournesol can tap into a user base that prioritizes privacy and freedom of information. This aligns with Tournesol's mission of providing ethical and transparent recommendation services to a diverse range of users.
Proposed Implementation:
To achieve this integration, it may be necessary to adapt the existing extension for YouTube to be compatible with Invidious. This could involve adjusting the API endpoints or implementing a separate module specifically designed for Invidious compatibility.
Expected Impact:
Improved Privacy: Users can enjoy personalized recommendations without compromising their privacy.
Enhanced User Reach: Tournesol's reach expands to users who rely on Invidious for accessing YouTube content.
Community Engagement: This feature enhancement demonstrates Tournesol's commitment to user feedback and inclusivity, fostering a stronger community around the application.
Conclusion:
Integrating Tournesol's recommendation engine with Invidious not only aligns with the values of privacy and accessibility but also expands the application's user base and community engagement. This feature enhancement would mark a significant step towards providing ethical and inclusive recommendation services in the online ecosystem.
