Glad to hear it!

Our goal with it is to make it the reference client for publishing nostr and WebTorrent content.

I don't particularly care if Lightning.Video becomes a big discovery brand like YouTube, I think that's an unrealistic goal for a small tech-oriented team. What I would prefer to see is hundreds or even thousands of copies of Lightning.Video's stack, run by different communities or even individual creators on their own namespace.

With varied instances of LV speaking the same language of nostr and WebTorrent, we can take down YouTube's network effect one niche at a time- in a decentralized way that's immune to influence by advertising networks.

I should add that LV also runs on Lightning Pub, and that will be critical to making it non-custodial at enterprise scale. You'll soon be able to use your LV balance right from ShockWallet by clicking a link that adds it as a source node.

Now that we've gotten the video operations side largely figured out, we'll be focusing more on Nostrfication using a 2nd layer we're currently scoping (slightly more advanced relay technology for nostr https://GitHub.com/shocknet/SMART)

In the next few months, you should see content from the broader nostr network on Lightning.Video and will be able to publish to the network from LV Studio.
