How to remove certain features from the dev kit?

[soulfire801]

Hello, I see freetube is open source so I’m trying to develop a personalized installation of free tube for my special needs child. The only difference being this is one is without the search bar or comment section. I want him to only access the video subscriptions I provide for him. However I’m kinda a noob when it comes to Java app development. So my question is for someone who is experienced in this field: what is the code I have to remove in the development kit in order to achieve this? Thanks in advance!

Hi @soulfire801, we have a Hide Comments option under Distraction Free Settings and a Hide Search Bar option under Parental Control Settings, so you should be good for the use case you've described! You can then set a password for modifying these under Password Settings. If you do want to recommend and/or develop any new parental control features, do note that FreeTube is made in JavaScript, not Java. Here's the Development section of our documentation for help on getting set up to contribute.
