Nice, and now we're just changing definitions of words to match what we think they should mean. That's so woke.

He was working on it but it wasn't completed until now. I'm unsure why it wasn't open sourced from the start but either way, it's open sourced now.

Yes, but nobody believes those buyout requests. They're clearly phishing attempts.

It makes me question my Kickstarter donation along with his other controversy. Having said that, maybe we need some of that attitude on our side. The incumbent platforms' charters are to end competitive platforms. Some sass can help us perhaps.

Is DEI also vaporware?

This app is currently available and works. Not sure what your problem is.

You're welcome to grab the code and make something better.

Did you try to actually add content? I did. 5 videos on the android app, as the webui has no option to upload or even edit already uploaded video. My experience is that loops is a garbeled mess without any taught or plan, that recurringly crashes or enter endless loading screens.

You cant do more than dip a toe in, as there is no more functionality and even that is buggy and incomplete.

Yeah this guy toying with selling is pretty insulting to anyone trying to help him out.

Agreed. I am downloading and occasionally checking out sole of the content on all of these apps like Loops or Pixelfed because I’d like to see them succeed. I’m not a content generator, but I hope having accounts on and viewing these services helps somewhat.

I use it several times a day and have uploaded several videos since early January. I'm using the android app exclusively and there have been a couple of times that I went to use it and it wasn't working, but mostly it works great.

the code he published is unusable...

Yeah man what an arsehole giving away free things, spending time making free things for everyone to use for free.
If he wants to keep his code private until he's ready to release it - that's somewhat up to him. The repo is a step in the right direction, just give it some time.
Looking through the git repo the ignore is lopping off quite a number of files too (server) however I'm not sure how much of those are things like secrets, cache, other scripts and so forth.

Not even as a jumping off point?

not the backend, just boilerplate mostly

Yeah, I wonder if he's just taking his time or he's trying to keep some stuff as closed? I'll admit it's been about a year since I even looked at code but I feel it, calling me to abandon all life except the glowing screen again.

The value of loops right now is the attention it is getting. Buyers are trying to swoop in early and bet that they can capitalize on the growth to get more money from other investors.
VC are gambling money as always
