This app makes no sense as someone who has no idea how peertube is supposed to work. I think peertube will never take off unfortunately because no one is gonna host quality instances. Videos are just too expensive.
Are content creators we already know expected to start their own servers? Or will there be a general mega instance for everyone to post to. Not to mention the fact no ones going to get paid for all of this effort except maybe the instance getting donations.
you're welcome to help improve the project
The app is the least of peertubes problems, I just think the entire concept is the most complicated and obtuse fediverse we have. Its hard enough for normal people to use Lemmy or Mastodon but PT is a whole different animal. Maybe PT should stop trying to be its own standalone service and integrate better with what we already have.
Maybe Lemmy and Mastodon could use PT as a backend for videos uploaded to their instance that could be found via a Lemmy community or tags via Mastodon.
It's integrating as best it can. It has an embeddable player and LDAP logins. It's kind of a failure on the part of other platform Devs to use it.
