   Fashionably late, here's my second¹ big announcement for 2025:

   Did you see the «Hyper 8 Video System» (https://simonrepp.com/hyper8), a static site generator for *video* that I beta-released last May?

   Last summer I applied for a https://netidee.at grant - an open source funding programme by the austrian Internet Foundation - to ensure further #hyper8 development, and to my great delight, the application was accepted!

   Hence, all throughout 2025 I'll be able to work part-time on turning Hyper 8 from a pretty solid beta into a full-featured production tool!

   The plan in a nutshell: Initially I'll work on critical features like subtitle support, RSS/Podcast integration, video embedding and built-in FTP deployment, midway I'll put additional focus on layout, accessibility and design, and in the grand finale Hyper 8 will be published as a proper desktop application – emphasis though that *right now* you can already use the Hyper 8 graphical user interface! The desktop application is just the missing glue to make this easier to access for everyone.

   I'll provide regular updates here on the fediverse, via newsletter (https://simonrepp.com/newsletter/) and I'll occasionally blog about this in german at https://www.netidee.at/hyper-8-video-system too.

   A thousand thanks to netidee for making this possible! <3
