Honestly, I have no notes for the PeerTube app. They really nailed it on the first try...
I really like the app too and I like the improvements they are focusing:
Goal #1: Free PeerTube "Premium" for the people €15,000
Play videos in background
Cast your videos to your TV
Get notified of newly released content
Change the video definition
Goal #2: Share videos from your pocket €35,000
Manage all channels of your account
Edit video chapters, subtitles, info, etc.
Get detailed stats of your content
Upload new videos from your mobile
Goal #3: Livestream from your mobile €55,000
Set up & manage livestream
Use device cameras & connection
Stream live from your hand
No more need for a secondary mobile app dedicated to live streams
Plus on the fireside fedi interview, a rep from peertube said that they would make these improvements whether or not they hit the fundraising goals but the new funds would help
I don't see any of that as useful, personally, other than changing the resolution. I sure as hell would not want to manage my video from the app LOL. But it's great that they're adding that.
Thank you for your comment, I still have to try it
Tell your favorite small youtubers, the ones you know always reply, they have high incentive to post to more platforms and try to get more visibility by being early to a platform like peertube. Better than ppl who already know of it like us here, more linux, selfhosting, blender, foss, etc. youtuebrs should post there.
We probably need to also get more of us actually uploading to peertube and posting stuff here with better integration.
First step is streamlining account creation and uploading. Is there a post goto for how to sign up? What servers are stable versus maybe not so much? Really useful video content is a major undertaking for technically useful stuff. I did several on YT in the past and some in the hundreds of thousands of views about how to fix or hack stuff where I was the only source posted. Editing something well is at least 1 hour per minute, and twice that with a good setup and recording. So like, I'd be far more bummed if that stuff got lost by instances disappearing. That is probably the biggest hesitation I have had. IMO, useful original content is the holy grail for this kind of thing, or maybe that is just my perspective bias.
Thank you for your comment!

Wouldn't you be able to reupload it elsewhere if needed?
Not necessarily. Like I don't have my YT stuff stored anywhere any more.
Shorter format stuff – sure, and that seems to be the only focus really for peertube now. Most of the YT stuff I posted was like bits and pieces of my journey of creating a product photography studio and progress I was making while still in my collar with a broken neck. I also made electrical hobby and bicycle stuff. I typically uploaded long format with 20-40 minutes detailing what I tried and what did or did not work when fixing stuff that is supposed to be unserviceable or undocumented and like reverse engineering type content. Some of those proved to be a reference I used many years later. My digital storage has never been at a very high quality level. Most of my motivation is like here on Lemmy; I want to share and just be a little social while maybe providing some useful tidbit that helps someone. I'd rather relegate that digital archiving to someone else mostly because my life has never been well supported or super stable.
Not necessarily. Like I don't have my YT stuff stored anywhere any more.
I mean, that's just poor archiving practices. There's no reason you shouldn't keep originals stored and backed up locally. You shouldn't depend on someone else to archive that for you.
Sure, you can send me a nas with drives and another network switch, wiring, and pay for labor to run it, while setting it up to work with my hardware and firewall. I have no interest in these projects to support something maybe useful to you but that I already know. I'd rather just do what I do now and keep it to myself. I'm physically disabled with no meaningful income. Gatekeep your hobby and financial position all you'd like, but **** your random prejudiced negative vitriol towards strangers.
Wow. That was needlessly antagonistic. I don't know your situation but what's happening is that you're pawning off these costs to other people. PeerTube is just not going to foot that bill for you, so you have unrealistic expectations.
Also most of that stuff is unnecessary, you can simply get a DAS box and connect it to your local machine as a hard drive.
Makes sense. Hopefully should an instance go down, a group of data hoarders would download its content to preserve it
We need more middling youtubers that have high quality content but low views to post there, a lot of scrappy low effort unedited stuff on there
Website already exists, that is all that is needed.
