Nowości dotyczące PeerTube!

The PeerTube mobile app continues to grow and now includes a creator mode!

Let's take this opportunity to review the latest developments and the improvements we will be making in the future.

We're thrilled to announce the release of PeerTube v8!

This version features a redesigned video player, an improved experience for importing videos and the ability to share channel management with other accounts!

Facilitating the adoption of software is a long-term endeavour involving several stages. We are proud to present to you few of them that PeerTube has completed!

You did it!

Thanks to your support, we achieved all three of our fundraising goals for developing features in the PeerTube application!
We now have the necessary resources to work on it during the year!

Throughout the campaign, your enthusiasm has truly warmed our hearts. We would like to thank everyone who contributed to its success, from those who talked about the campaign on social media, to the various news outlets that relayed the information to their audiences and the hundreds of people who made a donation!

Furthermore, through this crowdfunding campaign, we aimed to introduce PeerTube and Framasoft to individuals who may not be familiar with them, particularly in the English-speaking world. Thanks to your many voices and your help, we've succeeded!

You really are wonderful... thank you! ❤️

We have just reached €55,000 in contributions for the PeerTube app crowdfunding!
We were not certain to reach it but you followed us until now... that means a lot to us, thank you very much! 🥰

Thanks to this completed goal, we will be able to work with peace of mind on every improvements we wanted to make to the application this year! 🎉

Application development in Flutter: Publishing to application stores (2/2)

Publishing a video streaming application from the Fediverse on various application stores was like navigating an obstacle course.

Due to the stores' sometimes very strict policies and the sensitivity surrounding video content — particularly that generated or broadcast by third parties — we had to exercise extreme caution. Apple and Google consider us, as the application's publisher, responsible for all content accessed via the application. They are particularly strict on this issue with regard to video formats, much more so than with podcast applications or web browsers.
Here's an overview of the various stages, from the initial submission to the production launch.

While developing the PeerTube application, we gained experience in choosing technologies and encountered obstacles created by certain decisions. We share these insights here.

35 000! Thanks to your many contributions, we have reached the €35,000 goal for our crowdfunding!
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! 🩷

So... the second collective goal has been achieved! 🎉

New design for video management and publication pages, rework of the display and filter system for sensitive content… this new version is ready for the summer!

We are thrilled to announce you that thanks to your contributions we've reached our first crowdfunding goal! 🥳

On the behalf of the whole team, thank you a thousand times!

This goal is a very important first step to allow PeerTube to reach a wider adoption! Indeed, this goal was focused on enhancing the user experience and unlocking a YouTube Premium-like experience... but free and available to everyone!

Here are the details of what your donations will make possible this year.

Thanks to your support, we (Framasoft, a small french not-for-profit) have been developing PeerTube for seven years! From a student project to a software with international reach, our video platform solution is now used and acknowledged by many institutions!

Of course, we've still a lot to do, and if the PeerTube community is growing by the day, we can already see some crucial steps that would help PeerTube to reach a wider audience!

With your help, let's put PeerTube in everyone's pocket!

Support PeerTube

Today, our not-for-profit (Framasoft) is proud to present v1 of the PeerTube mobile application, 4 months after its first release! It's the work of a single developer, Wicklow, thanks in no small part to your feedback (and support). Let's have a look at what's new!

We (Framasoft) are proud to present the 2025 roadmap for the project! PeerTube is improving thanks to (only) two developers, the financial support of donors, the support of the NLnet foundation, and external contributions, whether in the form of code, design (hi La Coopérative des Internets), or user feedback from hundreds of people! Thanks to all of you!

In the last few months, we released the v7 of PeerTube (7.1 is also out!) and our official mobile app (with a major update incoming).

Both those projets benefited from external expertise (in design and mobile development ). Plus, both implied updating or even creating user documentation to facilitate adoption.

So here are the links to share those resources that show how the cuttlefish seaweed sausage is made!

We're excited to release version 7.1 of PeerTube, which continues to evolve graphically, but also to simplify your discoverability! Let's take a closer look.

With its brand new design, PeerTube's new interface isn't just prettier (although it is). It is also simpler, easier to use and understand and more accessible. Welcome to a new era of this software that empowers creators to get, control and connect their own video platforms.

Today, at Framasoft (bonjour!), we publish the very first version of the PeerTube Mobile app for android and iOS. A lot of care went into its conception, to help a wider audience watch videos and discover platforms, while not getting their attention (and data) exploited.
