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.
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.
