@loops The backend Loops server (loopd) will be open sourced later this week!

Keep in mind, this doesn't mean it will be production ready yet, and the app won't support other instances initially, that will come in the next few weeks.

I'll be open sourcing the mobile app during the beta too, I want to get this right this time!

@dansup will the videos be stred locally on the server, or are block devices (like Amazon S3) an option? This feels like something that can outgrow a server rather quickly.

@collectifission S3, due to the 720p resolution and duration limit of 30 seconds, you’d be surprised at how many Loops videos could fit in 1GB 😎

@collectifission During the beta period, we'll be limiting the duration to 30s, however I am working on longer options that will be made available later on.

Vine only had a 6 second limit, and TikTok started with a short limit too.
