 Loops will be open source, federated, and easy to install/manage! We are going to release the source code for the backend server and mobile app in the coming months, once we've laid a solid foundation! In the true spirit of federation, we're also going to build full account migration into Loops, so you can take your (whole) loops.video account to your own server once ready. Tick-tock π 8 comments
 @dansup What. It's not free and open from the start π? No trust in it then, sorry. I was really hoping for an upcoming solution to provide for young people who like this kind of social media, but that's a big showstopper. @nik The reason I'm not publishing the source code right away is because I want to get the communities input on many tasks and milestones, and it's hard to reach a public release milestone where you encourage people to join only to discover problems with outdated servers. It will be worth the wait, and every loops.video user will be able to migrate their full account (including posts) to their own or other server once v1.0 is released!  @jsbilsbrough @pixelfed Yes, S3 will be supported. We estimate you can store 12,000 videos at 20MB each for $5/month with DigitalOcean Spaces For the backend server, we don't have any specs yet  @dansup @pixelfed Looks cool. I just joined the TestFlight as @adrianco@pixelfed.social and will try out loops when it ships. |
