TypeType

TypeType is a self-hostable video app for YouTube, NicoNico and BiliBili.

It is not only a web UI. This repository contains the TypeType web client and the deployment files for running the full stack: frontend, Kotlin API backend, PostgreSQL, Dragonfly, media proxying, token service, downloader service and Garage-backed download storage.

What It Does

• Plays YouTube, NicoNico and BiliBili videos from a self-hosted web app.
• Stores history, subscriptions, playlists, favorites, watch later, progress and settings on your own instance.
• Searches, loads trending feeds, shows comments and opens channel pages through the backend API.
• Proxies media when direct browser playback is unreliable or provider-specific headers are needed.
• Generates DASH manifests when separate audio/video streams are available.
• Imports YouTube Takeout data and PipePipe backup data.
• Runs download jobs through a separate downloader service.

What This Is Not

• Not a hosted SaaS.
• Not a YouTube-only frontend clone.
• Not a fork of Piped, FreeTube, LibreTube, Invidious or NewPipe.
• Not a browser-side extractor. Extraction stays behind the HTTP API boundary.
• Not affiliated with YouTube, NicoNico, BiliBili or any upstream video platform.
