@dansup Furthermore, what people tend to forget in their usual X vs. Y mindset, is that from a long-form video attention economy/space perspective PeerTube is also up against all the streaming giants like Netflix, Twitch, etc.

@dansup In general having a polished mobile app does help user growth, I don't think PeerTube has been "held back" by the lack of just a good app.
As for "surges" as experienced in Mastodon and Pixelfed, you know perfectly well it's not just about the quality of these platforms/products.
Personally I think PeerTube is fine where it is right now, but if you want to define it's success by metrics, then PeerTube's biggests problems are:
- YouTube
- Storage costs
- Content quality -

@dansup As someone who has been developing with PHP for more than 20 years, this calls for my favorite grumpy old man quote.

@dansup Nothing like Playboi Carti to get pumped.
"No one knows what it means, but it's provocative" 😀
'Supervillain' is my personal favorite (cash carti /playboi carti)

@nlnet @dansup Daniel, you might need an European liason officer soon as a backup... (dreaming of becoming this for the Pixelfed Foundation)

@killyourfm Just wanted to chime in and recommend Ghost by example of MG Siegler, who has moved on from Medium (and Substack) for tech writing/coverage.

@dansup Every now and then I check in on the fediverse to see "what's dansup up to?"
As most of us know by now, it's always something good, but a bit of a surprise on the specifics.
So, wow, a complete re-write of the Pixelfed app. You are a special human.
