I mocked up a better workflow for video in a mastodon mobile app. I'm not a developer, just a mobile user who wants to stay in their fedi app of choice (currently Moshidon) while enjoying multimedia content and not get booted out to a web browser every time I want to watch a video or listen to a podcast. I still have no idea how difficult or feasible it is to actually implement this concept.

I think it's very important for fediverse mobile apps to support audio and video streaming to integrate with platforms like Peertube, Castopod, Bandwagon (once that gets going), etc.

It's for Lemmy rather than Mastodon, but that is basically why I put together Tesseract. It supports a lot of the "big" sources: Youtube (and both Piped and Invidious), Soundcloud, Bandcap, Spotify, Vimeo as well as Odysee, Peertube, and Songlink.

I've already got Peertube supprt, but I'll definitely look into Castopod to see what, if any, embed API it supports and try to add that in. Same for Bandwagon, like you said, when it gets going. Thanks for that list.

That's awesome, nice work! I just tried out Tesseract and it seems to work quite well. Feel free to leave some links where people can try it or contribute to the project, if you like.
