With our huge thanks to @NGIZero Entrust program and to @nlnet: those funds allowed us to dip into mobile dev, a new territory for us.
At Framasoft, we aim to keep those talents within our team. We are raising funds for our 2025 budget, and you can help here : https://support.framasoft.org

@peertube @NGIZero @nlnet congratulations ! I'm really impressed by the app's nightly edition. Even if there's much more work to do, I'm sure you'll improve the app all along 2025. I hope you'll get plenty of donations.

@EDERTO87 @NGIZero @nlnet We even plan to improve it in the next weeks, actually 🥰

@peertube @NGIZero @nlnet I've made a live and tested the app. I'm amazed by the outcome. I've been able to follow the stream without any cuts.

It's really a pitty that funds were used for a native and proprietary mobile app. I'd ratehr have seen it go into PeerTube development. Hence, considering skipping my donation this year.

The app is a Libre Software. Under GPLv3 licence.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Renard@fosstodon.org
@Renard @peertube @NGIZero @nlnet Yes, the proprietary PeerTube app is licensed under GPL-3, that is correct.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from nik@toot.teckids.org
@nik @peertube @NGIZero @nlnet
The official Peertube mobile app let everyone have:
Freedom 0: The freedom to use the program for any purpose.
Freedom 1: The freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make it do what you wish.
Freedom 2: The freedom to redistribute and make copies
Freedom 3: The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements
It is a Libre software. (I use the french word "Libre" instead of "Free" to avoid confusion with gratis)
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Renard@fosstodon.org
@Renard @peertube @NGIZero @nlnet I never claimed anything different. I was criticizing that the app is proprietary, not that it is non-free. Look further down in the thread for an explanation.

@nik @peertube @NGIZero @nlnet
Proprietary is the opposite of Libre Software. You cannot be a thing and its opposite.
The Official Peertube mobile app is a Libre Software, not a proprietary software.

@peertube @NGIZero @nlnet I just sent a small donation. Because I prefer community-run, free open-source tools like #Peertube to corporate ones like #youtube #foss

@peertube Congratulations! Great work! Any advice to channel owners how to get included in search by default? Even directly searching for “puppet building” doesn’t return anything on https://puppet.zone/

@operationpuppet
Not right now, but stay tuned: we will have to find an easy way to add more and more platforms to the mobile index.
We'll soon get back to the community on that.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from peertube@framapiaf.org
@peertube @operationpuppet This is a big problem. When "adding" an instance address, it doesn't actually "add", it just navigates you to that platform. It doesn't add them to search results in the main default engine.
I can't imagine how much of the PeerTube ecosystem this app doesn't even touch upon. That's a HUGE problem.
I can't tell my friends to try this when they can't actually find what they're seeking.

@Coreyartus @operationpuppet Thanks for the feedback! We'll improve this behaviour

@Coreyartus @peertube @operationpuppet
I'm on iOS so I don't have the option to add, but I did find that under "platforms" there's a list of all your recently-visited servers at the top and you can pin them for quick access.
A lot of this could be resolved if the Explore tab defaults were local-only. It is currently a massive liability, the "featured" feed for some servers one degree away from the whitelisted defaults have NSFW content front and center.

@peertube I would love to see your mascot on the app icon. Currently it looks very sterile.

@peertube any time soon in f-droid store?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from iuvi@mastodon.social
@iuvi @peertube They appear to use Sentry, which can also be used to gather data intrusively. Not sure whether F-Droid allows this.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Natanox@chaos.social
@Natanox @iuvi Yes they do, they just display it to users as a maybe unwanted feature.
The F-droid presence is being processed right now, so it's coming soon.

@peertube
First of all, congrats!
EDIT: okay, found the method for adding your own instance, but it's a bit hidden? You have to go to Explore > Show More Platforms, then click the little +
EDIT 2: Okay, my own idiocy for not reading the article properly! Apparently Framasoft wanted to add proper features but the rules of Apple and Google's app stores effectively ban full clients for federated video networks. Framasoft are having to very gradually add stuff instead of giving us the client they know we want, simply because of Apple and Google's duopoly.

@FediThing @peertube That sounds similar to the constrains of NewPipe, which is unfortunate.

@peertube quick FTUE test, maybe these could be converted to usability enhancements:
My instance seems to be down, can't continue further now.
I Tried playing videos from explore. Most work fine but some just display "Error: null" in center of screen.
Thanks for the release and I hope this report is productive.

We are biggest peertube instance in Poland, and we are active moderate instance.

Congratulations, @peertube ! I'm really heartened by the commitment made to understand and plan to avoid the abuses that the online video industry has subjected people. This calls back our humanity and recognises we are people, not biomatter laying in gel-filled pods.

@peertube Hello. I translated the app to Polish. Will have to test it in the app later when it releases on f-droid with Polish and context that was missing from the translation page. I hope I did a good enough job for the time being. Cheers.

Was able to find our community instance https://sfba.video but couldn’t figure out how to login with the app. Is that a feature in the making or is something missing on our instance?

@peertube @seb Would be great if the info bubble at "My accounts" in the app could tell that it's a planned feature. Currently it reads like a fact: "You can also connect to your platform" ...which confused me.
