Who wants an app for Peertube?

I use Newpipe

A dedicated more focused app would be better.

Why?

I like the concept of NewPipe combining several content providers.

To me, NewPipe's Peertube would be better with a search function that can select any server as base.

Nothing versus newpipe but PeerTube doesn't need to support proprietary platforms, also a dedicated app would probably be better to implement particular peertube's features.

same here🤗

Same it works well.

I use Tubular which integrates Sponsor Block and comment replies.

... How? My Tubular won't open peertube links, and i have tagged all the extra links it offered in open by default

Idk, all I know is that I don't have NewPipe installed and when someone shared a PeerTube link in Lemmy the other day, Tubular opened it with no problems.

i have tagged all the extra links it offered

Is this in the app settings or the device settings?

Does Tubular support SponsorBlock for PeerTube videos?

I didn't know, so I asked Microsoft Copilot:

Tubular, which is a fork of NewPipe, does implement SponsorBlock 1. It also supports ad-free versions of platforms like SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and PeerTube2. This means that you should be able to use SponsorBlock with PeerTube videos through Tubular. However, it’s important to note that there has been a discussion about the lack of PeerTube support in the SponsorBlock repository itself 3, which suggests that while Tubular supports PeerTube, there might be some limitations or ongoing development regarding full integration. For the most up-to-date information, you may want to check the latest updates on Tubular’s GitHub page or the SponsorBlock issue tracker 1 3.

I juat wich i could log in with my lemmy account to add comments.

you can't expect it to gain any traction without one.

It won't gain traction until there's content on it people actually want to watch. The best app developer in world could make a Peertube app tomorrow, and it wouldn't mean anything to the 99.999% of people who aren't interested in watching 2-hour seminars about Linux kernel.

That too.

It kind of goes both ways too, doesn't it? Like, the consumers aren't going to flock to the alternative platform without good content creators already there, and the content creators usually want to stay on whatever platform will get them the most views.

Fuck google.
