So somebody re-invented an RSS/podcast/vodcast app?
It’s sorely needed though. The idea of following the creator across the silos is a good one. Implementation is and will be tricky tho.

Seems like the server is down, can you post the license if you have it loaded?

#23As one of the devs of the project, I will try to answer your questions as much as possible.
on occasion I like to watch the creator's simulcast, but different angles
like, the Youtube/Twitch feed be their main content with a camera directly on the creator with them superimposed on a screen recording, and the TikTok feed might be a different angle. But the comments and interactions are wildly different. The main purpose is to funnel towards either one, or yet another platform for payment, but this can be entertaining on its own to watch both.
does your app solve anything for that use case, or have any aspirations to? I think its useful to just be able to follow someone around, I have always contended that social graphs are easily exportable and the platform doesn't matter and I'd like to see social graphs as a first class citizen as opposed to being happenstance behind social media company's newfangled platforms.

The first step (which is now already working) is that creators can create a polycentric identity and link their platforms together using the Harbor app.
If you are then subscribed to their YouTube channel, you will also see content they post on any other platform like Patreon, etc.
You subscribe to the creator, not the platform identity.
We cannot easily provide social graphs for platforms we cannot control. However, we also offer the option to make Polycentric comments where you as the commenter own your comment, rather than the platform owning the comment.
Polycentric is an open protocol https://docs.polycentric.io/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLoCtRzTkJQ&t=0s and you are free to create any social graph you might want to.
I hope this answers your question sufficiently.

We are working on a Github mirror for the source code as soon as the Gitlab instance is back up.

The Gitlab is back up now.
There's also another discussion of the license on this thread that hasn't been merged yet

Given YouTube's business model is reliant on ads and serving a stream of multiple videos how long do you seriously expect to remain unblocked?

#28Soo, this is basically a platform as well, right?

Will there be support for streaming videos from Piped instances?
