Hey everyone, I've been working on a native tvOS Peertube client, PeerTV. Here's the App Store link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/peertv/id6761736523

Sometimes I like to watch videos from my Peertube instance or a friend's instance on my apple tv, but I noticed a while ago that there weren't any tvOS Peertube clients available on the App Store. That is until now!

This application is open source on GitHub , so by all means, check it out and add requests for new features or bug fixes if you'd like.

Also, I recommend using it with my plug-in to add a randomized video tab to your Peertube instance. The PeerTV app has a setting that unlocks a special random video tab if you're using that plugin on the instance.

Disclaimer: I used a Claude model with cursor to help build out this project. If that is something important to you, then feel free to not use it or insult me in the comments. I mainly built this tool because | want it to exist. I have over 6+ years as a developer so I know what I'm doing for the most part. I did not just mindlessly tell the ai to build an application. There was a great effort on my part to ensure the app is secure, efficient, and functional.

Thanks!

A consortium consisting of multiple interested parties including Murena, i.e. /e/ OS, iodéOS, and Volla, is working on an open source alternative to the Google Play Integrity API, which is to be offered on smartphones that are not running a Google-certified Stock ROM.

For those who do not know, the Google Play Integrity API is Google's official security and anti-abuse framework that lets Android apps verify that they are running on a genuine, i.e. unmodified device, installed from Google Play, and not being tampered with.

Sadly, this framework tends to discriminate against Custom ROMs, i.e. operating systems that are not running Google's apps and services, no matter their actual device security state.

Full Google Play Integrity is tied to the ROM being certified by Google, and running Google apps and services - many banking and government apps make use of it right now.

---

The consortium around UnifedAttestation wants the new framework to rest on three foundations:

it will be part of the operating system, apps can add support for it with a few lines of code

operation of the validation service will be decentral

an open test suite for checking and certifying operating systems on specific devices

---

The whole thing will be open source, developed under the Apache 2.0 license.

Developers of Scandinavian government apps have already indicated interest, considering the project a first mover for Europe.

Personal comment: I think it's good that there is now validation service for government & banking apps that is not tied to Google's infrastructure, and more crucially does not require Google's apps and the Play Services to be installed.

I’m posting on behalf of another user on Reddit,u/TasmanianHorse, who’s exploring the possibility of integrating their platform (Echo, Pinterest alternative) into the Fediverse using ActivityPub.

I recommended the Fediverse to them earlier on, and they’re interested in making their platform interoperable with existing services (like Mastodon, Lemmy, Peertube, Pixelfed, Loops, etc.), but are still in the early stages and looking for guidance.

---

Some of the questions that they had:

• What are the main challenges when implementing ActivityPub from scratch?
• Are there recommended libraries, frameworks, or starter projects to build on?
• How difficult is it to ensure compatibility with multiple Fediverse platforms?
• Any common pitfalls or things to avoid early on?
• Are there best practices for moderation, federation control, or scalability?

---

If anyone here has experience developing for the Fediverse or has worked with ActivityPub, your insights would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: They also have an e-mail address, that they have said that users can reach them at, if they have feedback /feature suggestions regarding Echo.

Its called Aiko.

It's still in beta.

Although I did suggest that they potentially consider federation
