 # FAQ
 ### What's the difference between this and Invidious?
-At first I started working on this project as a solution for following Twitter accounts (a thing that can't be done with Nitter) and getting a Twitter-like feed. Weeks later the leader of Invidious, Omar Roth, announced that he was stepping away from the project. As an Invidious active user, this made me think that a new alternative was needed for the community and also an alternative with an easier programmin language for most people (as Invidious is written in Crystal). So I started developing a '*written-in-python Invidious alternative*' and it went quite well.
