WHY / The story of ytify with n-ce

• I was an avid NewPipe user back in 2021, which I used for background playback.
• I noticed it wasn't able to stream under low network conditions.
• So i decided to create an issue.
• Upon finding no active resolution on the issue, I took it to myself and created this project on Jan 2022.
