#loops

- 9k users in its first week (a fediverse record)
- multiple 3rd party clients within hours of the APK release
- tons of press coverage before anyone seen the app

There were some hiccups and I'm still working on the much anticipated 8th build, but we did it!

We made fediverse history together.

I'm so proud ❤️

#loops

I'm working on finalizing the @loops grant and once that is ready, I will be able to get paid for my development of #loops

Who makes bank? You, the fediverse.

Thanks to @nlnet, you will have a viable open source federated TikTok alternative.

So go remind your political representatives to support NGI/NLnet funding if you live in the EU!

Spread the word + please boosties 🚀

That being said, our R&D "department" has successfully implemented custom AR filters in the Camera (similar to Snapchat filters), and will support user contributed AR filters.

We are a few months away from this being available to users, it will likely launch on iOS first with a limited deployment while we address performance/bugs.

The goal is to be the best fedi video camera app, with powerful editing tools!

We will add the webUI later, but we are focused on the mobile experience first.

I'm open to feedback, and will setup a form on the website for mod applications, I'm looking for trusted and established people that either already moderate or admin an instance.

The amount of work will depend on activity, and most of the reports I will handle depending on load, with you sometimes deciding on a user appeal, with the ability to veto my initial decision.

Mods will have more power than me, as they should!

#loops

I'm nearly finished the Help Center and legal docs that are requirements for inclusion into the App Store and Play Store.

I'll share another update in 12 hours with more info and hopefully an ETA
