Loop video urls will be super short!

ex: loops.video/v/5jM_jMRGuYbLc

Notice no username? That's because we plan to support username changes ✨

I've seen people mention that the Loops push notifications are dark patterns, and that is not my intention at all

I'm not encrypting the notifications and they can be collected by various parties (NSA, Apple, Google) so I didn't want to include any more metadata than I needed to

Hope you understand!

@thisismissem I will eventually, I don't know if Expo even supports that, because that is what I'm using for now.

Loops is open source, and as such, I think it's a bit naive to spread rumors about data privacy when I haven't even pushed all the code yet.

I'm not some start up, I don't give a heck about your data, I just like building cool things for cool people

That being said, I know I don't always make the right decisions, and look forward to community feedback so we can find the right solutions, together!

I'm not a regular mom, I'm a cool mom 😎

"Someone you know (@pixelfed) joined Loops!"

Just imagine how easy it will be to grow your Loops network graph with innovative features like these!

We're just getting started 😎

@shalien @pixelfed its opt-in, and we use fine grained oauth scopes to ensure we can't read DMs or other data.

How isn't that privacy compatible?

You literally have to connect your Mastodon account first, and if someone else does that has your account included, you can access the collection of who you follow from a web browser without any auth.

✨ Iconic Onboarding

With Loops, you will be able to take advantage of your Mastodon (or Pixelfed) account to find friends based on accounts you're already following!

Discovery is crucial, and we're making it even easier ⚡️

Loops is an open source short video sharing platform, with ActivityPub support!

Made by the same people that made Pixelfed 😎

@amy You will have the option to disable this, it will be enabled by default for obvious reasons, however there will be a grace period of a few hours after you first create your account to disable this so nobody else is notified!

I hope that answers your question, and if you have any feedback or advice, don't hesitate. I'm trying to get this right, but I'm only one guy and I could use all the feedback I can get 😁

@amy I mean, its not really emulating dark patterns since this isn't a "Share Contacts" modal on the main feed, you need to actively navigate to Settings -> Connect Mastodon then Connect your account by logging in.

If you don't do these steps, you won't be found or recommended friends, since you never connected.

Would you agree it's not the same as opting to share your Contacts with Facebook? Most Mastodon accounts are public, so are the following collections, I don't think its a dark pattern

Loops has a simple For You algorithm to show relevant interests and topics, it will get better over time like my Autospam algorithm!

The way it works is pretty clever, using a combination of on-device machine learning and nlp we use plenty of “signals” to classify content and associate it accordingly.

This is more than just short videos, helping people discover relevant content is crucial to our mission and I look forward to building the best fediverse For You feed 😎

Why is Loops getting Push Notifications before the Pixelfed app?

Complexity, in Loops its under 50 LoC for Push Notification support since we are using Expo Notifications.

For Pixelfed, we need to build WebPush support in the backend, and then setup a proxy server.

That being said, I expect them to land in Pixelfed later this summer!

I still have problems with @pixelfed : by me the federation doesn't work, my posts from @salvomic don't appear in https://pixelfed.social/@salvomic
@dansup any help?
thank you

@dansup@mastodon.social avatar

@salvomic @pixelfed @salvomic I’ll look into this, there shouldn’t be any issues federating Pixelfed to Flipboard!

Push Notifications have been added to @loops

I have some clever onboarding and networking features in development, it will be a very fun and eventful weekend I think

@fell Android yes, web eventually.

I would absolutely love to get my hands on the new @loops Android or iOS app by @dansup to start using it and testing it.

As many of you know, I do beta testing all day everyday since I work for a large Android app and most all of the software I use is beta of some form.

It would make for a great experience to dive in early and see what it's all about and report feedback as much as possible to help make it the best app out there today!

dansup,
@dansup@mastodon.social avatar

@cliffwade @loops I will make sure your in the first batch of beta testers! I look forward to your feedback 😁

https://loops.video is a very promising ActivityPub platform for short form video, and could use your financial support to help fund and sustain this initiative!

Donations can be made via @pixelfed
