What Hacker News says
6 sourcesIt can't federate with peertube yet, but there's an issue open for it with the author's support: https://github.com/mayeaux/nodetube/issues/32
I think there's a good case to be made for multiple federated clients and servers to ensure the health of the ecosystem.

I am open-sourcing my very robust YouTube alternative that supports image and audio uploads and has livestreaming built in, monetization through Stripe, lots of amazing features.
You can check it out 'in the wild' here: https://nodetube-1.herokuapp.com
Source code is available here: https://github.com/mayeaux/nodetube
Also for people with Heroku I just created a Deploy To Heroku Button, the link to follow is here: https://heroku.com/deploy?template=https://github.com/mayeaux/nodetube

s are supported out of the box.

I am going to write more instructions on how to deploy to Heroku, run locally etc, but I am submitting this now as a teaser for those who want to dig into the code right now. Cheers and long live the free and open Internet!
