It’s not finished. It’s not perfect. But it’s real. 🥹
Loops is now open, built in public, and growing every day — laying the groundwork for a future where you can build your own TikTok.
A future where governments can’t censor you. Where corporations can’t control the conversation. Where the social web belongs to the people again.
This is how it starts. ✊
@dansup congrats!! 🥳 excited to watch Loops continue to grow!
@dansup exciting. Looking forward to explore and hopefully bring up my own. Signed up and waiting.
@dansup congratulations!!! For those of use using the beta version through TestFlight. Should we delete it and download the new one?
@dansup I'm trying to figure out your "Login or Register" UX flow. On an Android phone from a Chrome browser, there's a "Login" but not a "Register" flow that I can see.
Would love to try it out before I try learning TikTok !
@dansup Dan, thanks for confirming no telemetry but can I alsp get you to confirm:
Are there any hooks/code for pushing ads/hashtags/etc? Either opt-in or opt-out?
@dansup great work! Thanks!
@dansup Now do one for long videos.
It seems the joinloops.org front page doesn't like Firefox Mobile much. Slow to load, refuses to scroll, the buttons remain below the fold.
@dansup
@dansup I feel abandoned having an early account on loops.video. No web interface, no federation.
@virtuous_sloth it’s coming this week, don’t worry!
Kudos Daniel. Incredible hard work done to help enrich the fedi! 💪 🎉
@dansup is it intended to play on a web browser or in an app (TikTok is both). Also, like TikTok, can folks anonymously browse?
@dansup well done! Congratulations.
So needed. I hope it gets very successful.
@dansup "Fastly CDN and Object storage is used by Loops to host and serve Loops video to a global audience" Why not hosting it on AWS instead? (Yes, I troll, but this one was too tempting.)
@dansup What's the difference with the already existing PeerTube?
@dansup congrats ! waiting for some videos by people
@dansup congratulations, but specially, thank you!
