Props to the person or people who are developing this. It’s something YouTube themselves should have done.
Exactly. There is no excuse for Youtube Music being as shit as it is. Why does Google half-ass this so much?
I had a small laught when seeing that the UI is basically Spotify. Listening to YT music “via Spotify” is such a delightful thought.
But I will probably try it out. The YTM web interface runs like ass on my laptop (Takes about 3 seconds just to skip to the next song), so this might make the UI usable by just plain replacing it.

I think your original question stands. Self-hosting != federation.
Why does it have to look like Spotify though? Why not make something better than both platforms?
Personally it made me nostalgic since I left spotify a few years ago and I long for those summer nights listening to my playlists while writing and reading.
I’ll give it a try, the standard interface is not great performance-wise.
looks pretty interesting, but it’s based on invidious, i’ll have to keep an eye out to see how this works out. https://news.slashdot.org/story/23/06/15/1956200/youtube-tells-open-source-privacy-software-invidious-to-shut-down
