Loops became Open Source!

The Loops app certainly feels like it. Not to diminish a solo dev doing something on his own, but it just seems like a standard video player with like, comment, follow. Search feature is only by user; when you type a comment, it doesn't wrap the text, it just moves horizontally until you post it. I think the feed is literally just a chronological list of every video posted, and for some reason, most of the videos I see on it are just like...atmospheric videos. Still camera, nature background, rain in someone's backyard. People love the concept, but I don't see how it's anywhere near ready to compete for users like other options are right now.

If that quote is what was sent to him to entice him to sell that sounds strongly like a scam

The web UI has been teased for so long, too. I'm losing trust with dan. I mean im glad he found success with pixelfed, and i wouldn't even have a problem with how long it takes loops; but he's just dishonest. If he was more honest, transparent and open sourced the code early on i would've had no problem. But this? what is this?

Appears to be in TestFlight

I'm not a big Fediverse proponent, like...the concept is good, if not still a little young (activity pub isn't ironed out across mediums and is still a bit jank in my opinion) but it seems a bit like a cash grab to be the savior dev making all the X-equivalent of Fediverse, and just hopefully something sticks. With PixelFed blowing up, feel like Loops is gonna take a back seat for quite a while.

Pretty sure those are ai linked in bots that send that message to every single email they can scrape off the open web lmao.

Test flight is opt in if I remember correctly and allows you to download beta versions of apps. So I would assume you signed up or activated it or whatever for an app.

not just "off vibes", he posts a bunch of shit that people call him out on, and then deletes it

Could you elaborate? I'm not a developer but the repo does appear to be populated. Someone in the Mastodon replies said he might have forgotten to push some commits, are y'all alluding to the same thing?
I don't have the requisite competency to see what you're saying so I'd love more info on what you mean and why you think that

Not even a surprise open sourcing...
Nvidia did it better

Fine, tree fiddy AND an ass eating. Sounds like a bargain to me.

Would it be more or less if Adam wasn't eating your ass?
