I'm in talks with @liaizon regarding the @loops project manager role.

I'd love nothing more than a trusted, dedicated project manager to take the reigns and tell me what to do/code so I can focus on what I do best.

The project manager would be responsible for gathering feedback, planning features and organizing accordingly.

I can only do so much, delegating a role like this is a big deal, and I'm all for it ✨

Loops is special in so many ways, being open source is the most important one.

I've published the skeleton and will update it with runnable code in the next few days.

Loops is open source, with the exception of the algorithm training data and user data

Each instance will be able to train and maintain their own 'For You' algorithm

Backend: https://github.com/px-loops/loopd

App: https://github.com/px-loops/loops-rn

I’m considering imposing some limit like Loops get deleted after 1 month or you can only have 20 loops at a time.

It would def give it a diff vibe than TikTok and encourage less staged and more in the moment content I think.

Thoughts?

TestFlight may take another week, so I'm thinking about distributing a @loops Android APK for the initial beta!

That would enable me to get it in the hands of beta testers the quickest 🤔

Remember Loops?

Short looping videos didn't make sense for us back in 2019 before we had an app.

Now we do 😉

I honestly do feel guilty about @loops success when just a week before I reached out to @stux and offered my help to build a mobile app for GoldFish

I don't want him to lose interest in and all the hard work he's put into learning front and backend development

I stick by my word and will write a basic GoldFish app and teach him native app dev and he'll be one of those unstoppable fedi devs in no time 😎

Collaboration > Competition

❤️

@loops Just had a really nice and productive chat with @stux

We're on the same page and will be working together to build out our short video vision across our platforms

#Goldfish + #Loops = 🚀

Wow, over 300 people have applied to the @loops beta!

I have great news, some of you will be getting early access to Loops this weekend!

You have been promoted! You are now one of my elite employees!

Finishing up Profile Settings in @loops

Because we're launching the beta with a mobile-only client, I have to make sure you can manage all your settings via the app.

We do have plans for a web client, but for now #loops will be mobile only.

I've seen people mention that the Loops push notifications are dark patterns, and that is not my intention at all

I'm not encrypting the notifications and they can be collected by various parties (NSA, Apple, Google) so I didn't want to include any more metadata than I needed to

Hope you understand!

def going to be an interesting week

Loops by Pixelfed

Loops will be a "sleeper" fediverse app, with the default appearance of a single flagship instance

You will be able to run your own loops server, and login to the app, but it will be less emphasized

The goal is to make @loops as user friendly, without any fediverse knowledge, as possible

When the users decide they want to migrate, they can take advantage of full account migration between Loops servers!

We're really onto something here...

New week, new @loops progress!

The Camera + New Video upload screens are done.

Hashtags and mentions will ship after the beta is live, I think follows, likes, comments and notifications are more essential and am finishing those up now.

Gosh, this is getting pretty exciting 😁
