Happy for them to be developing an app (which already appears to exist), but at ~20‰ with 16 days left... wouldn't it be "better" to collaborate with existing apps like Pipepipe / Newpipe and direct those funds into the platform instead?

I wouldn't want to associate with an app that's ripping off YouTube when you're an app trying to make a better YouTube.
But also, this is open source. Who are you to say that funding an effort should go to one place and not another? I think the people who actually put effort into Peertube are best place to determine what's good for the project.

Isn't there already a mobile app?
Developers can focus on whatever they seem appropriate.
But I think content discover and community (lack of) are the biggest issues of peertube right now.
I hop once in a while to the main peertube site and I can never find anything remotely interesting to watch. There may be some good content, but it's impossible to find.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]First of all there are subgoals with the first one being at 15k which is almost completed.
Second of all a real peertube app is mandatory for its success, like they said 80% of people watching videos are from their phone.
This app wont be a second way to watch peertube, for most it will be their entry into this ecosystem so it better be good. -

I'd really like to get into the app but its been hard to navigate. Do you have any recommendations for good channels?

its video sharing, its not a crazy concept, like dailymotion and vimeo have existed forever, idk if they still do lol, think social media platforms adding vidoe like facebook killed those as popular alternatives but Im prob wrong

I like that they are finally raising some money to do development. This is really good to see.

I’m well aware of why they’re terrible, (Safari as well). However the unfortunate result is that they are terrible.

That’s…literally the point of clearing cookies? Do you also complain that swimming makes you wet?

I have dedicated apps for services where I don't want to log in every time, even when they have a web version, because of the above.
I know this can be done with firefox settings (at least on desktop) but thats a hassle.

GrayJay has a peertube plugin which works well.

Valid. Except on some browsers e.g. Vivaldi you can put sites on a list that retain their cookies even when you clear the rest.
