PeerTube v6 is out, and powered by your ideas

A bit of topic.

I created a peertube client[1] for android a few years ago. I love peertube and I really believe in the project however the effort I have put into the client and the rewrite which I almost finished using jetpack/mvvm structure just doesn't seem to be worth it. I feel bad for abandoning it but I think I may have too.

Sad to hear, but totally understandable. I'm sure the official app will need lots of contributors when it comes out next year.

Is there an official app in the works? I wasn't aware. Do you have a link?

>Framasoft also announced that next year they will bet big on PeerTube, working on features such as better moderation tools, working on promoting the ecosystem more, and an official PeerTube mobile app.

And on another front of the mobile battle, podcasting 2.0 apps are increasingly supporting PeerTube video via the RSS feed.

It was announced a few days ago at the Capitole du Libre festival in Toulouse, France. Framasoft is hiring a second developer to work on PeerTube (for now it is mostly the work of a single individual), and they will, among other numerous things, work on mobile apps and video/sound decoupling to allow for the podcast usage cited in another comment, for example.

You haven't explained why its not worth it.

Is it because there is no interest in Peertube, or because there is no demand for an Android version?

It looks like a chicken and egg situation. Is it an Android or IOS app for Peertube that will make Peertube popular, or is it Peertube popularity that will create demand for an Android app?

I think it is more the former than the latter. I can't judge your motives for abandoning it, but I think you should persist and go that last mile which is usually the hardest of all.
