🎩 BREAKING NEWS: #JavaScript is weird! 🧙‍♂️ Who would've thought? 🤔 An article reveals the shocking truth that #eval is a #nightmare, #loops are #sneaky, and #ASI is quirkier than your uncle's dance moves at a wedding. 😱 But hey, don't worry, just slap a #linter on it and pretend everything's fine. 🙄

Loops is a short video sharing platform, powered by ActivityPub and inspired by TikTok.

One challenge I had to solve was compression.

I implemented an important two stage transcoding system that first optimizes the video on device in the app, then sends it to the server for further optimization.

This means Loops servers don't need huge resources to get started, and can leverage the processing power of client devices!

new loops build shipping later this week ✨

Highlights:

- camera
- comment likes
- improved comment pagination
- creator comment moderation
- press + hold to speed up playback 2x
- video playback progress bar with seek
- push notifications
- improved search results
- federation beta*

So the ffmpeg library I was using for Loops was recently retired due to patents.

I spent a few hours preparing our own build to maintain support, and have forked the library and may need to pickup the torch to maintain support with newer ffmpeg versions. Oh yay.

The things we do for open source 😅
