<p>Today, when searching for videos on a PeerTube instance, it is hard to <strong>find content that is not in the federation bubble</strong> of that instance.</p> <p>We will create a <strong>server that indexes all videos</strong> and channels from all PeerTube instances that are listed on <a href="https://instances.joinpeertube.org/">the public directory</a>. The code for this indexing engine will be open source, so that anyone can host their own by setting their own eligibility rules.</p> <p>Each PeerTube instance administrator will be able to choose to <strong> use one of these indexing engines for their instance's search bar</strong>.</p> <p>In addition, <strong>announcements</strong> will allow instance administrators to display information to visitors.</p>
Other Framasoft's volunteers and salaried members also contribute to the PeerTube project on various aspects (strategy, communication, development, community animation). Nevertheless, PeerTube is not developed by a startup with a team of 50 people, and a workflow full of hyper-formatted processes.
PeerTube is a software created, developed and maintained by <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://framasoft.org">Framasoft</a>, a French non-profit popular educational organization on digital issues. Framasoft has a French culture, respects French laws and is a political actor (« who participates in the life of the city-state ») of civil society.
Hiring another developer, developing an official mobile app, promoting the PeerTube ecosystem... These are a few of the things we plan to do in 2024, on top of an exciting v7 roadmap.
Organize videos in public or private <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://docs.joinpeertube.org/use-library?id=video-history">playlists</a>
<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://docs.joinpeertube.org/use-watch-video">Share</a> the video or the playlist URL/embed with attributes (automatically start/stop at, loop enabled, muted...)
PeerTube is not a service, PeerTube is free software. This means that anyone can download and install PeerTube to host videos on a specific domain name (this is called "hosting a PeerTube instance/website"). Framasoft has no control over who downloads PeerTube, and who installs or uses it. Nor does Microsoft or Adobe have any control over who uses Word or Photoshop and for what purposes.
