Feature Description

Thank you! 🙏

Huge thanks to the developers for creating PipePipe. It's an amazing privacy-friendly app, and I truly appreciate your hard work!

The Idea: Local Personalized Home Feed

Currently, browsing requires searching or opening subscriptions. It would be awesome to have a YouTube-like "Home Feed" based on local watch history.

Simple Logic for Implementation:

To keep it privacy-friendly and easy to code, we can reuse the existing 'Related Videos' mechanism:

  1. Take the last 5-10 videos from the user's local watch history database.
  2. Fetch the "Related Videos" for those specific history items.
  3. Mix/shuffle these aggregated videos together.
  4. Display them on the Home Page tab as a personalized feed.

Why this works perfectly:

  • 100% Privacy: Everything runs locally on the device; no Google tracking involved.
  • Easy to Implement: It leverages existing app logic (fetching related videos), so you don't need to build a complex recommendation algorithm from scratch.

Thank you once again for your massive contribution to the community! ❤️
