Loops became Open Source!

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.

Can't wait to see AdamEatsAss's changes to bluesky, he will take the company down the right path
AdamEatsAss is a man of the people. He's got his finger on the pulse of popular opinion.

He is the defender of democracy in free speech. Without him we'd be astray

Vaporware can also include prototype spaghetti code releases.
Is DEI also vaporware?
-
Yeah this is just vaporware at this point.
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...

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

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.
Not sure you can trust him at this point.

I'm not a content creator, but I recently went on vacation and put my best stuff up.
Without the algo, everything just gets lost to time. When I put a few things up, they faired well, but once they were out of the front seat, ( a day or so ) they were never seen again.
Where I post a couple nice things on bluesky, I get reverberations for days.
