<h2>NewPipe e.V. hires contributor Profpatsch for NewPipe development</h2>
<h3>03.12.2024</h3>
</header>
<p>
We have an exciting announcement to share, made possible by your amazing financial support!
</p>
<p>
Proudly, NewPipe e.V. is investing your donations into
what is most meaningful to the NewPipe project: paid development time.
After we temporarily hired Schabi this summer from July through September
(as reported on
<a href="https://newpipe.net/blog/pinned/announcement/schabi-contract/">the NewPipe website</a>)
and extended his contract
until October, Schabi can no longer offer us his services due to taking on a full-time
job. He already made some impressive progress on rewriting and improving the core player component
of the app, dubbed
<a href="https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPlayer">NewPlayer</a>; now, to ensure his
work not to become stale, somebody
needed to take over where he left off.
</p>
<p>
Thus, the e.V. reached out to members of NewPipe's contributor community
in search of new independent contractors that would take our offer of a flexible opportunity to
work on NewPipe.
With a gap of less than a month, the e.V. was now able
to hire Profpatsch, TeamNewPipe member and independent software developer, who says,
"I'm happy to
continue Schabi's work on NewPlayer,
helping out with reviewing and the refactor."</p>
<p>
We hope you are as glad about this news as we are.
NewPipe e.V. has committed to working with Profpatsch for the timespan of three months,
with the perspective of a longer-term arrangement.
For this, we continue to rely on your donations to help drive NewPipe forward; please consider
a <a href="../donate.html">donation</a>
such that we can keep funding this and further contracts for the benefit of the project.
</p>
<p>
Yours Sincerely,<br/>
the NewPipe e.V. board.
