feat(patch): Local favorite videos & following list

Open powerfulsaber opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Application

TikTok.

Issue

Without an account, a user is not able to follow creators or favorite videos.

Patch

Allow the user to follow creators and favorite videos without an account (similarly to NewPipe). This data would be stored locally rather than on an account.

I'd suggest implementing an export/import feature of this, so it wouldn't be lost when transferring over devices.

Motivation

TikTok makes it difficult to create an account when taking privacy precautions, such as using a VPN. There's already a patch made to disable the force login prompt, so this is a simply a step further in making it closer to the normal TikTok viewing experience.

This is also beneficial privacy-wise, as your data won't be tied to an account.

Partially inspired by NewPipe.
