Nostr Web Client

My goal with #Plebs was to make it the PeerTube of #Nostr. I think I’ve accomplished that. But with major improvements, imho, by making it a static site that can easily be loaded locally and leveraging Blossom hosts to offload the content in a way that’s better than ActivityPub. Time will tell, but if video views on PeerTube are any indicator, I suspect Plebs will remain very niche. Though, I wish more people on Nostr would use it to post videos. I pumped a lot of “blood, sweat, and tears” in building it and I’d hate to see it go to waste and become abandonware. A truly censorship-resistant, decentralized video platform with Bitcoin tips via zaps to content creators without any middleman is gonna be huge when people finally wake up to it.

Isn't it self-hostable?

Peertube is a community project.

If your goal is to send tips to a video, the road is long, because you have to find a video you like, so you need to have a lot of content or have your contacts post it, which is difficult. You changed videos kind three times, if I'm not mistaken, which didn't help.

It still creates kind 1. It’s also very easy to zap videos. The app creates 3 different kinds per upload, for maximum reach across Nostr. So, that people across Nostr can still zap/watch without being on Plebs itself.
