I can tell you're very excited :)
I am working towards replacing YouTube. I want this site to become a Nostr client. Right now you can watch any video that is currently on YouTube already on my site. There is no need to re-post and host every video ever created all over again. Not going to reinvent the wheel if I dont have to :)
Having a like button that displays an invoice is a UI improvement in my opinion. Especially since not everyone has a lightning enabled extension available. When I have Nostr integrated, it will just automatically zap the creator, so only one click will be needed.
This site is not intended to be pay per view. Only V4V.
Yeah sure, "nice tool" that I cannot view the video...
I think you understand what I mean. Forcing me to go back to YT it will end badly for this app. I mean it cannot be used.

LMAO. Dead on arrival 100%.

As an aside, in the U. S. the login is not required YET, but it does seem to be heading that way. Lately I constantly get bombarded with "reminders" to log in. Does anyone know if this policy has been announced worldwide? I'm sure it's coming.

YT is already ded. They will force everybody to login. Not even Invidious serves will be allowed anymore.

Do you use zap. stream or lightning.video? Which has more content? Do you think they seem to be growing?

Do you use zap. stream or lightning.video?
Here is my testing account https://lightning.video/darthcoin
They're just started. Are in a very incipient stage, but are on the right path. There's also https://tunestr.io/ We really need a full replacement for YT with NOSTR (not building on top of YT).

This is great! Any inside the citadel videos yet? (I just zapped your flash crash video)

hahaha indeed, LN video will have capabilities to stream live (they have it initially but is suspended now). @justin_shocknet can give more details about LN video future.
I will keep that LN video account to stream some videos from my citadel when will be ready. Unfortunately this year I cannot work too much, I have an injured finger, waiting to cure.

Livestream is a actually back, ui is a little buggy for the creator still
Biggest thing is you can use it live right from your phone, no broadcast software needed
More nostrfication on the roadmap but need to focus on wallet/pub a bit longer to make video completely non-custodial
Thats interesting. I havent tried watching a video without being logged in. thanks for bringing this to my attention!

It's a warning for you. Your app soon will became useless. Concentrate in building something else.

Have you considered making a lightning address associated with the description/channel metadata that allows users to stream sats in realtime?
I actually made a prototype of this back in the day but no one really implemented it. Just have the creator put in an address and have the client stream 0-10 sats depending on user preferences & informed consent.
