Piped-Material is a fork of Piped, an alternative client to YouTube. I have tried to improve the performance, the design and efficiency.
There are a few things that PM does better, like watch history tracking, and compares favorably to Piped's features.
As a byproduct, the code is also much cleaner, dysfunctional patterns and paradigms have been replaced with clean, beautiful code :).
There's an branch implementing preferences & watch history syncing, with PBKDF2-based or Web3 wallet-based key generation using EDS at the feature-eds_2 branch. This is deployed at eds-v2.piped.১.net.
There are two deprecated deployments, that use a older version of EDS that is no longer supported and does not receive updates. It's still maintained to for users who still have not migrated, but will be deleted soon. The newer version is incompatible with the older version and generates entirely different keys.

Production instances are updated infrequently, and do not include features that are introduced recently without extensive testing.
Piped-Material's Production instance is also available via IPFS at IPNS key k51qzi5uqu5dl0a18rats73hcc6d5dtvtz9pjbpgzj6hl66b9za5i5wn0yzgjv.
For example, it's available via dweb.link and via cf-ipfs.com.
There's a Dockerfile to build a Piped-Material deployment (using a simple nginx server hosting the SPA files) located here. It can be customized with build arguments. Piped-Material is just a SPA so yarn install; yarn run build is enough to generate static files.
