I'm so glad I delayed open sourcing Loops.

It gave me time to really focus on getting everything right, while preserving and migrating loops.video users to the new federated platform.

While some doubted me and my intentions, even despite the fact I turned down several VC investment offers, I kept my word.

Loops is fully open source, federated, and increasingly ready to compete with TikTok.

Even though I did this all myself, I couldn't have done this without your support.

You motivated me ❤️
