Today I'm launching Flare, a video sharing site built on Nostr! 🎉

Like YouTube, Flare lets you upload, view, comment, and like videos from your favorite creators. BUT unlike YouTube, we can't strike, shadow-ban, or demonetize you just because we disagree 🤗

Since Flare is built on Nostr, you are free to serve your content from anywhere and consume content from any kind 34235 client you'd like.

Check it out at https://www.flare.pub/ 🔥

Amazing work! Nostr.band relay is now indexing 34235, they're searchable with nip-50 and on the site https://nostr.band/?q=kind%3A34235+series

I tested it primarily with Spring browser. Working great. Looking great. Very smart. I'm loving the app. 🫂💜

Who paid for the server, bandwitch, hdd ?

I posted this on Hacker News. Hopefully your site isn't Hugged to death right now 😅

nostr:npub1chuth0ru5mq5pjeq6magew3kse4d5m7wgzqk3tnz0kgqwu3vt6ls5hq3gd can we get « Vespa » on this?

Im noticing lots of people are asking high quality questions about this on Hacker News. Might be worth while to engage with those 😅 ?

I feel that it will become a great alternative to privacy intrusive tech giants platforms! It looks great too! Thank you!!! Will there be a way to do split zap to content hosts?

Looks great. I wanted to try it, so I paid 10,000 sats. It still won't let me upload anything. What am I doing wrong? Using Firefox+Alby here. https://image.nostr.build/f7168c0f2ab949143c1c54efe0db5b25f0654627a1ff40ef4120ca58cc409cc6.jpg

Has anyone managed to Zap on #Flare?

Love is the answer 🧡⚡️ · 113w

Just added flare as a PWA 🧡 I’m still learning. What’s an nsec? I’d like to sign up.

I can’t log in with my iPhone 13. Once the keyboard comes up, the text box moves off the screen.

Hello! Nice app. Congrats! But I cannot install PWA from Spring app. 😌 https://image.nostr.build/9135d6181062d9b4ad76f1e0cffc459341fe00f9130d31cfd9d23250fdaa7c88.jpg

Not your hosting, not your video

ChipTuner · 113w

Absolutely fantastic. I'm so excited for video sharing like this.

Hey nostr:npub1zach44xjpc4yyhx6pgse2cj2pf98838kja03dv2e8ly8lfr094vqvm5dy5 — this is amazing. Will users be able to host videos on home servers at some point? Using AWS seems like a very dangerous solution for a platform like this.

Very nice work! How is this different/better than peertube?

MickBurke · 112w

How long should it take from paying for storage till you can upload something? I paid through the upload mechanism, but nothing happened and if I try to upload it asks me to pay again...?

Ruminant Llama · 112w

Impressive. Looks awfully similar to YT (which is good for adoption, I think 🤷‍♂️) and feels pretty mature already!

How are you going to handle copyright issues

looked to create an account...not clear how to do this. It is asking for "Nsec" which I thought was private and not to be shared.

Amazing! 🧡🫶🏾 *Trying to upload video but cannot get past ‘get started’ when purchasing Basic plan

nostrich · 112w

LFG! This sounds like what we’ve been waiting for. 👏👏

Honza Pobořil · 112w

How is storage incentivised to do it? They will not do it for free forever.

Catty_McCatface · 111w

Wow awesome 🤩

Chad Lupkes · 103w

Now we're talking! Two comments. First, looks like the views are not registering on the videos. The latest one from Fractal Bitcoin has four likes, but no views. Something's broken there. Second, instead of having to upload a video manually to your servers, could we drop an IPFS link to a video t...

Wow! Perfect! Freedom, what a great concept! ❤️

Great effort but could you please comment this opinion: "Flare isn’t the Nostr solution you think it is" https://simplifiedprivacy.com/flare/ Flare.pub is supposed to be a decentralized video app for Nostr It is unclear how Flare prevents Flare itself from deleting your videos, as Nostr’s pro...

Went to log in via npub, and it just spins and spins. Windows Chrome, no extension. got a github to report that on? Or are you using https://gitworkshop.dev?
