    I like that they are finally raising some money to do development. This is really good to see.

    But it's never going anywhere even less then lemmy. Video is expensive both in storage and bandwidth compared to text.

      There are tons of apps that you use that are just well packaged PWAs, packaged as an app store app

      So… native apps, that interface with a PWA using a web view or something.

      There’s the kicker.

      Yep, just like electron or Tauri. A web view wrapped in a native application.

      These are very common these days, it's the same use case and value proposition. Mainly because it's just easier to develop UIs with web technologies that look the same everywhere, never without the app.

        I think they need to find a way to distribute the heavy video parts among volunteers. I think it would be more practical to have it distributed.

          GrayJay has a peertube plugin which works well.

            Isn't there already a mobile app?

            Developers can focus on whatever they seem appropriate.

            But I think content discover and community (lack of) are the biggest issues of peertube right now.

            I hop once in a while to the main peertube site and I can never find anything remotely interesting to watch. There may be some good content, but it's impossible to find.

              It's free, and I see an official Github repository containing the code, is that not foss?

                Source code doesn't make it foss

                Windows XP is open source by that definition

                  By the acronym, opening up the source code to the public would make it open source. What is Grayjay missing to be open source then? Accepting contributions?

                    No, that's not how it works. It is source available

                      I understand what you're saying. What would make GrayJay open source? Allowing for community contribution?

                      Edit: I looked it up thanks to your unhelpfullness, and open source seems to mean making the code available for the community to use, modify, and share, which Grayjay seems to do. I'm pretty sure I'm right here, but I do want to hear your definition and argument. Is your issue that the license doesn't allow others to make money using the source code?

                        Open source/libre/foss all have to do with the license. Grayjay doesn't have a license that meets the criteria because it places arbitrary restrictions on the code.

                        It has nothing to do with contributions. You can ship the code on a CD and that is totally fine as long as it has the proper license.
