Should be "audio only".

Also should be small letter after colon.

It is a full sentence, so can use big versal.

This is actually fine in American English, but not in British English. Interesting.

Shouldn't user statements be kept as is as they are quoted?

True, but there should also be the correct quote signs, and they shouldn't be red. Leaving for now.

you could write a /sic if you want to

It wans't in the original quote

sic is used when you're quoting someone but you want to indicate that whatever error the reader sees is part of the quote and not a typo caused by you.

Aren't they opposites? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratis_versus_libre

Hence the and. Adding Oxford comma to drive the point home.

I don't think it is needed.

Suggested change

<h3 style="font-weight: bold">NewPipe—against the stream of the current</h3>

<h3 style="font-weight: bold">NewPipe — against the current of the stream</h3>

No spacing is how it is used in https://hosted.weblate.org/translate/newpipe/strings/de/?checksum=f34666a9044eb73d
Amounts to choice of style.

I've only seen the space being absent when you want to show interruption.

"Hey! How are you doin-- whoa!"

(pretend that's an em dash)

I think it is either side or nothing. https://www.thepunctuationguide.com/em-dash.html is the one I use

According to that website, the em dash shouldn't even be used here. I think it should be a colon.

I mean kinda unrelated but maybe against streams?

Also, I like Opuses dash

@opusforlife2 The change doesn't carry over the duality. current works with stream, and can either be in a stream as a resistance, or a virtual one.

If you're using this metaphorically, then I would need some more clarification.

In conventional usage, however, we use it this way. 'Current' is the direction the stream flows in. You go against the current, not the stream itself.

<li>To make the Internet more accessible for everyone</li>

I thought "to make the Internet for everyone" is an OK slogan/saying. NewPipe should be better for blind users before the accessible for everyone holds true. I think the brevity encompasses everyone nicely?

To make the internet _____ for everyone. It's missing an adjective.

Was going for "To make the Internet for everyone"

Hmmm. To me it reads like Newpipe is creating this thing called the Internet for everyone.

maybe focus on the media part, what NewPipe is about?

To make media streaming for everyone?

We already know what it is about from earlier, this is a greater goal. To its greatest extent, it is summarized in those 8 words. Improvements would be, fewer words, better sounding sentence, or similar.

To make the Internet a better place for everyone?
