The Loops for iOS app should be available in the App Store within one week!
Will have a better ETA in the next day or two.

"I really liked it. To be honest I was expecting something less "mature" but it surprised me that it can even record videos directly"
- feedback on the new Loops app
I love exceeding expectations, I've put a lot of work into the new Loops server and mobile apps, and after months of delays, everything is finally coming together.
You love to see it ❤️
Another "decentralized" short video service funded by a billionaire appears.
Meanwhile, Loops is fully open source and federated, but we don't have any investors.
We're funded by people like you!
I love the depth effect in iOS, this is such a sick wallpaper!

When you forget to add dark mode to one of the most important screens 😅 🥀
Before vs After
Sorry folks, I am human. It's fixed now!
Ever wonder why you see the #fedi22 hashtag in bios?
Yeah, that's my fault.
I built a People Directory in 2022 for the #fediverse that used that hashtag for verification.
I'll improve it and make it way better, perhaps with Starter Pack support 😉
@andypiper A mastodon never forgrdets... I mean, forgets... wait 🦣
This is what happens when you let your tusks type instead of your fingers 😅
@hongminhee @tokolovesme I'm so proud of you, I know it can be difficult to come out publicly when you have a large following, but it's important to feel comfortable with who you really are, and you should never have to hide that ❤️
I came out in 2020, and the fediverse was a huge support that gave me the courage to come out to my parents, family and friends.
Made in Canada.
@evan I'm honestly speechless seeing you launch https://photos.cosocial.ca
Your StatusNet software changed everything for me. I ran it until 2016, and it led me to Mastodon, which eventually inspired Pixelfed in 2018.
You've been my hero since day one. To see you now using Pixelfed... this moment feels impossibly full circle.
Thank you for everything you've built and for inspiring generations of federated software builders.
The future is federated. ❤️
@elena @koteisaev @yunohost Hey Elena, just wanted to mention that Loops is now officially supported on Yunohost, and I'm working with them to ensure stable support.
The Loops mobile app is coming very soon!
Don't leave Laravel Telescope running on a production fediverse server 😅
On Loops comment sections, you may see
"This comment was deleted by the user"
We do this to preserve the nested comments by soft-deleting them to preserve the nested structure 😎
Loops.video is now running the latest version, with full federation enabled ✨
Registration is open, and now instant 🥳
They want you to think “Skylight” is the future of short-form video.
But it’s just another closed, investor-owned clone.
Loops is different:
🌱 open source
🌍 federated
⚙️ production-ready
📜 better ToS
📚 full API docs
📱 official app coming soon
I kept my word — no VC money, no walled gardens.
Because we deserve a real TikTok alternative, built for the people. ❤️
Spread the word ✨
Xcode is now doubling as a space heater, another great feature, thanks Apple 🤣
This is my largest commit of all time I think 😅
https://github.com/joinloops/loops-server/commit/5b0e77806c53c0cd1c68c9f09e06f16ad0debc3e
I'm finally finished writing the ActivityPub code for Loops at 6am this morning, I'm exhausted.
Will relax tonight and release tomorrow, along with a beautiful new blog ✨
