I realize the frustration regarding the Loops delays.

But I'm a man of my word, and have finally shipped the full source code for the backend, while I continue to work on the ActivityPub federation and other features.

Building a TikTok clone that scales, federates and is easy to install/manage is a huge challenge.

And yet, here we are

Loops - The federated short video sharing platform.

@dansup you really need a team of devs to help you. It's feel great to build impactful things but it also feel to manage a team and help you realize your visions

@hiphopheaven I have a growing team!

They work behind the scenes, and aren't as visible as me, but that's okay.

I strive to be the best leader I can be, and our team has only grown since the start of the year.

I couldn't be more proud to work with @shlee @matlfb and the rest, we're really on to something ️
