put ActivityPub in it :)

But seriously, a PeerTube compatible software with a different approach than PeerTube could be good for the federated video ecosystem.

    So what is the difference between this and PeerTube?

    Do you think you could work towards ActivityPub integration so it would be able to talk to PeerTube instances? IMO diversity is strength but cooperation is a factor in success. Hope this project goes well and is fun 😁

    How is the design and flow of Peertube different from YT, can you give e few examples? For me they are super similar (there's a video feed, I click on one, I get a page with videos that has comments and related videos).

    That repo looks like someone vibe coded a YouTube clone

    Absolute best of luck to you! :) We need more diversity in software!

    I hope AcitivityPub or some federation mechanism is being supported. :)

    If you ever want to come on a podcast, Fireside Fedi, let me know. :)

    Also if/when you're ever needing someone to test the software I'm starting another show called Works On My Machine Live where I install the software and talk to the dev during it.

    Doesn't matter there we'll never be a replacement for YouTube the cost is to great. Think of the storage they barely remove videos they just stay up there.

    Yea someone argued that "it's not impossible to replace YouTube, [x] also stores massive amounts of videos" where I don't remember what x was, but I'm fairly sure their massive amounts of videos is less than what gets uploaded to YouTube in a day, maybe an hour.

    I agree that more options is a good thing, and that activitypub would be a plus. But FYI, I wont be using it because of the license. I use only FOSS whenevr possible.

    Why would anyone use this non FOSS vibe coded thing instead of PeerTube? Copying YouTube's UX is not a good enough reason when better FOSS alternatives already exist.

    Wdym non FOSS? It's MIT. That's still FOSS even if it's not the flavor of FOSS you prefer

    I don't care if AI was used in its creation. I do care if it's FOSS/libre.

    And also, it's a bit weird to me that copying YouTube's UI is considered good. I havent used YouTube in a long time, but I recall there being some good aspects and some bad. Why not create your own vesion of a UI?

    Okay, why this over peertube?

    An alternative approach to PeerTube would be very welcome. ActivityPub-integration is a must for me, though.

    This looks cool. Good luck with it
