@dansup If you ever offer a premium version for custom domains, let me know!

@dansup I am super curious how did you solve copyrights in terms of music.

And we are waiting for the email, "we are super crazy" - Dirk Gently

@dansup got my welcome email 2 days ago without ever getting the follow-up email lol

Don't be surprised to see re-uploads from TikTok on @loops

Once we have enough organic content, that is what the For You algo will prioritize.

We will also have the "Latest" feed which is reverse chronological.

More details will be shared in the coming weeks about the For You recommendation algorithm.

@dansup @loops YOU'RE WORKING ON A TIKTOK ALTERNATIVE?? 🤯 #foss

Yay another platform to become addicted to 😅❤️

I'm trying to make the @loops app simple and easy to use, and I've gotten mixed feedback about the UX regarding updating your bio fields.

Does this make sense to you? You tap your Avatar, Display Name or Bio and update accordingly?

@dansup @loops first picture seems fine for me.
But the editing mode doesn't have a "save" button? I think that will lead to mild confusion.

@dansup @loops I think it might create some cognitive dissonance having the user see a placeholder in a text field, while having the text field contain a value. It also looks like a text field, so while I like "Tap to edit", I think the combination further muddies the water as to whether that's a text field or not.

imo, the UX could be refined at some point, but I wouldn't consider it unusable atm. It might simplify things to just have an "Edit" button and having a separate editing view.

@dansup @loops
Edit fields for multiline texts (like the bio) should always be large enough to show more than one line (at least 3+).
That's one of the gripes that I have with the pixelfed app as well.

dansup

Everything is falling into place for Loops, but it has a lot of moving parts and legal/regulatory steps we need to wrap up for App Store reviewers.

I appreciate your patience during this period, it won't be long until we get approval for our apps!

I'm preparing a side-loadable APK, and the iOS TestFlight will get approved soon hopefully 🤞

@dansup I am looking forward to this I still haven't gotten an email yet but am willing to wait, have waited this long.

"he rarely delivers"

was the best part

girl have you seen my work in the past year??

"I rooted for him until I realized it’s mostly empty promises and he rarely delivers."

Love to see this! /s

Keep in mind I'm not a multi billion dollar ad company, and I'm building this short looping platform for the commons, it will be open sourced and federated!

Everyone has their opinions, and I'll just keep shipping 🚀

@dansup you hyped us very well. It's not easy to be patient. 😅
But also it is a very hard task you have there with the on boarding.
I can't imagine how difficult it must be to get communications, last minute bug fixing and some other unforeseen issues all under one hat.

I think you are doing well. And in some month no one will remember.

@dansup I've been incredibly impressed by your work & output Dan. Do not be discouraged by impatient commenters.

I have seen some of these posts ("where is my Loops welcome email?") and they remind me of impatient toddlers.

I have one and I keep telling her: "you know my love, patience is a virtue and it would be great to learn to wait. It's very useful in life" (she's 3 years old).

I especially don't understand the complaints over a FREE service you're giving us. Thank you for all you do 🙏

@dansup its so disrespectful of them. I think its some how #FOMO they are attacked by. Keep up the good work @dansup, and be sure to rest!

dansup

I apologize for the Loops.video delays 😅

Edit: The app is still in the review process

dansup

If you received a welcome email, you will have access to the Android beta within the next few hours, I know you are growing impatient, but please bear with us!

@dansup Does this mean it will not even work on PC?

Currently don't have an android device and wondering if there are other options or just waiting.

@dansup Take your time. Any plans for monetization of the platform? How will the platform sustain itself?

Celinho

@dansup I received the email, but I don't think there was any way to put it in my other account, will you be able to change email? because I use the proton email and it was Google's email

dansup

Loops.video is launching in public beta in less than 24 hours, but I want to emphasize that there will likely be hiccups during the rollout and we don't have much content, so please bear with us during this very early stage!

I promise it will be worth it, and look forward to y'alls feedback during this phase!

I'll have more updates soon.

@dansup I’m hear for the ride and community. Just ready to join.

Dan York

@dansup Best wishes with the launch. I’m looking forward to experimenting with it!

Robert "Szkodnix"

@dansup@mastodon.social Am I the only one with sign up issues? It says that my username and email is already in use.

dansup

Loops emails are rolling out!

We are limited to 1 per second 😅

Unfoldedmemory000

@dansup #loops between spam and inbox in my mail. I'm just so impatient because I want to be sure I did everything right when I registered yesterday. 😃

dansup

New Loops update coming in the next hour!

Christopher Brown

@dansup I’m unsure I’ve been this excited about receiving an email.

CynicalElysian

@dansup Fingers crossed that I get the email! 🤞🏿

Cliff

@dansup So does this mean if we signed up back then but still haven't gotten our email as of yet, that we'll get this badge and the rest of these perks?

dansup

Loops.video is not re-using pixelfed.social accounts!

I made a Cryptpad form earlier this year in April and shared it, if you're username is registered already, that's because you pre-registered in April!

@dansup Cool! So should I be getting an invite in my email at any point soon? I'm theoretically @solarboi@loops.video

@dansup still awaiting mine... but I'm sure you will get there

Cas

@dansup Hello! I didn't receive an email, is this expected atm?

dansup

Also, congrats to the 6 people who snagged a single char username before I implemented the 2-30 username limit.

You can keep them 😎

@dansup When I go to sign up, it says my username and email is already taken. Is that because I have a pixelfed.social login?

Austin

@dansup 🤣
... Thanks for letting us keep them...

Loops.video update:

- Over 1200 users have joined!
- We need to migrate to a bigger server before we can onboard more users
- Federation support coming later this week!

It's amazing to see the early feed, its growing and will get even better with more community members.

If you didn't get an email yet, you can expect one later today!

Registrations are still open
