    ActivityPub-federated video streaming platform using P2P directly in your web browser

    The channel in this post has 20 YouTube subscribers and no more than a couple thousand total YouTube views.

    The trending page on PeerTube shows a list of videos with at most a few dozen views.

    Is PeerTube supremely unpopular (seems to have been launched several years ago: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PeerTube), or am I missing something? Does it really have an order of magnitude more Github stars (https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube) than daily viewers?

  • owncast

    Take control over your live stream video by running it yourself. Streaming + chat out of the box.

    Yes, Owncast [0] is another example of an app that is in the process of adding ActivityPub protocol support [1] and become part of the Fediverse. I hope they'll be largely compatible in the way they implemented their federation support.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • webtorrent

    ⚡️ Streaming torrent client for the web

    If WebRTC is activated in your browser and webtorrent (https://webtorrent.io/) is being used by the instance, yes. However, you could say the same for Zoom or most video calling platform, if I'm not mistaken.

  • lbry-sdk

    The LBRY SDK for building decentralized, censorship resistant, monetized, digital content apps.
