Description

I just downloaded the application onto my Linux Distro and I absolutely LOVE it so far. However, one thing that has kind of annoyed me is the idea of having to constantly keep my NewPipe and FreeTube applications in sync in terms of subscribers and data. I think adding some form of data synchronization (perhaps over a local network? Or in a style close to how brave or signal handles syncing but for NewPipe and FreeTube) would:

1. Reduce the nuisance of having to manually synchronize subscribers and channel profiles/feeds
2. Increase ease of use and positive user experience as having watch data synced leads to an overall more pleasant experience.

Perhaps it could be implemented by having a button on Freetube that opens a QR code, or something that NewPipe could scan to synchronize watch data? And everytime you want to re-synchronize you can just do that again, or perhaps a sync chain style setup like Brave? I realize implementing this would require the cooperation of NewPipe, but I thought it was an idea worth just throwing out there.
