Hey BlueSky! 👋

Building something different: an open-source, federated TikTok alternative called Loops.

Creator-owned. Community-driven. Fully transparent.

Because short-form video shouldn't be controlled by a single company.

joinloops.org
✅ Onboarding
✅ Auth (with 2FA support/switch account)
✅ In-app registration

The new Loops app is almost ready for you ✨

The way people connect will outlast us — 10, 20, even 200 years into the future.

What we build today will decide if that future is free and open, or owned by corporations.

Build software. Build communities. Spread awareness

The foundation starts now — we call it the #socialWeb

socialweb.network
SocialWeb.Network - Your Gateway to Decentralized Social
Comprehensive resources for decentralized social web protocols including ActivityPub, AT Protocol, Nostr, and more.

1990s: "Fuck IE. We'll build our own."

2000s: "Fuck IE 6. We'll build a faster, open-source browser."

2010s: "Fuck Google's monopoly. We'll fork it."

2020s: "Fuck it. Let's just fork it and add a chatbot."

The goal is no longer to replace the king. It's to build a fancier throne room around him.
I'm opting to delegate management of the Loops project after v1.0

Stepping back to let team leaders drive the vision forward.

Goal: build a solid foundation, then become a contributor who follows their lead.

Building platforms for the people, with the people. That's the future.

No ego required ❤️
Loops + ActivityPub

I successfully tested federation between Loops and the fediverse!

Stay tuned 🚀

The fediverse needs better developer resources. The kind ATProto has.

Fixing that gap: rich docs, interactive examples, instant prototyping.

Built indie-style with FediDB, browser.pub and other community resources to create a better foundation for fedi devs.

Sometimes one spark is all it takes. ✨
Loops v1.0.0-alpha.1 is out!

As a solo dev, this first alpha represents countless late nights building what I believe short-form video should be: federated, open, and creator-owned.

Still early days, but excited to share ✨

MyLoops
A creative community for sharing short videos and connecting with others.

I'm so proud of this, Stories will usher in a new era for the fediverse.

Mark my words 😎
Share your world with ephemeral Stories that vanish after 24 hours.

Coming soon to Pixelfed! ✨

Btw, you will be able to disable Stories and never see them if you prefer! #pixelfed #stories

We're almost ready to ship Stories to TestFlight!

Also, you will be able to disable Stories and never see them if you prefer.

Earlier this year, I had the occasion to design a new logo for the video sharing app @loops 😊

Turning the play symbol into a Möbius strip-like design reintroduces the notion of “loop” into the icon. I also created several animated versions, playing with the […]

Can you run `php artisan passport:client --personal` and try logging in again?
The scariest realistic “in the future” movies have nothing to do with AI, zombies or asteroids

It’s us. We’re our own biggest threat

We shouldn’t be this far behind essential human rights, dignity and respect for all, but we are

Revolution is the birth of equality
And the antithesis to oppression
