  1. With all the #NPM attacks, I'm thinking about ditching PeerTube and setting up some sort of a thing with a combination of Jekyll and Hyper8 to have a website with the styling that I want it to have rather than Hyper8 since I don't really like how it looks. I want to have it so RSS feeds work for stuff too, and having comments work from other federated services would be nice but I would need to ensure blocking and moderation works and allow myself to add comments too.

  7. If you're into creative work and #opensource you might want to check out MABarbe's talk on "The State of #LibreGraphics" from this week's @lgm. It summarizes recent developments of large projects like @GIMP, @krita, @kdenlive or @inkscape, but also references more specialized initiatives like @penpot, #Hyper8, #Pexieditor, #Tixl, @friction or @Coollab. The #LGM26 site has a list of the mentioned projects, available via libregraphicsmeeting.org/2026/

    #Static #Video #Hyper8

    thewhale.cc/posts/hyper-8

    A static site generator for video publishing.

  13. Possibly of technical interest to those using both #Faircamp and #Hyper8 by @freebliss

    For my new EP I published the videos on Hyper 8, and the music on Faircamp. I was able to embed the individual videos on the track pages in Faircamp just by pasting in the code to the "-- more" section, and it works beautifully - see for example:

    music.key13.uk/sun-moon-stars/

    I know Simon has closed the Faircamp wishlist for now, but I'd love it if the Faircamp embeds were as pretty as the Hyper 8 ones :)

  14. Hyper 8 Video System 1.0.1 is now officially out on all release channels! ⸜(˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝

    In the wake of 1.0, this release brings significant fixes all around, as well as some minor improvements and maintenance work, all of which is listed in detail here: simonrepp.com/hyper8/changes/1

    This is also the first release that's packaged for older, long-term-supported .deb based systems (such as Debian 11)!

    Thank you so much to all contributors, they are: @BjornW, Michael Fritzsch, @arnauld, @namatoj, @Lioh, @dried, as well as Legend-Master (and the wider Tauri support team). <3

    And in case you are new to Hyper 8 – it's a static site generator for building and publishing video sites, from single videos to large archives. No database, no programming, no maintenance is required, and the resulting sites are compatible with virtually every webhost on this planet. You can check it out at simonrepp.com/hyper8/

    #hyper8

  15. @elena perhaps this is a good opportunity to collaborate on a feature like this with @freebliss who wrote and continues to develop #hyper8 selfhosting video solution

  16. Time to introduce my last new project for this year:

    «Zeroform» ... is a tool for generating minimalistic, self-hostable forms, with a twist: It can generate both static (html/css/js) and/or dynamic (php augmented) online forms.

    My main motivation for zeroform is to create tooling that helps me gather more precise feedback while designing and developing (especially) #faircamp and #hyper8, and to do this in a way that reflects the values of those projects: Independence, simplicity, minimalism, freedom from maintenance, absence of tracking, etc.

    Basically you start with a thought, put it down as a plaintext blueprint of the form/questionnaire/doodle/survey you have in mind, zeroform turns it into finished code and design, you can upload it, use it as long as its useful/needed, and then you can just delete it.

    Think of it as your own google forms, without bigtech, without dependence on any infrastructure besides the cheapest of hosting plans, commissioned and decommisioned in a mere minute.

    I'm now one week into the project, since today I'm developing in the open at codeberg.org/simonrepp/zerofor, and I will put it to use in the next days already! I have roughly one more week reserved until the end of the year for making this usable for the general public - I'll announce when it's ready. ʕ◜0ᴥ0ʔ

  17. @eruditelijah
    Sorry for not crediting you in the initial post. I've now been back and edited it.

    I accept your free use of substack is convenient, but it does contribute to them being trumpeted as the only game in town.

    Creating FOSS platforms for your examples is not necessary - they're already here and just need support. @peertube and #hyper8 for different video use-cases for example.
    @Castopod or even just #dir2cast for podcast hosting - it's only RSS.
    SO MANY writing tools, it's not funny.

    Hyper 8 Video System _ 1.0 _ – A static site generator for video publishing
    simonrepp.com/hyper8/

    #hyper8

  19. 10 months. 342 commits. Dearest people of the Fediverse, may I present:

    Hyper 8 Video System _ 1.0 _ – A static site generator for video publishing
    simonrepp.com/hyper8/

    For screenshots, videos and written notes on everything that happened in these last releases, check out the rich release pages for 1.0 (simonrepp.com/hyper8/changes/1) and its equally feature-packed predecessors at simonrepp.com/hyper8/changes/

    These major developments in 2025 were made possible through a project grant from netidee.at, an open source funding programme by the austrian internetstiftung.at/ – thank you so much for supporting this work and enabling tools that benefit independent artists, communities and organisations worldwide!

    I would also like to say a huge thank you to all of you out there already running your own Hyper 8 sites, testing, reporting, contributing, donating, giving feedback and being just all-out positive and supportive on this journey, it really means a lot to me and makes a big difference!

    For this latest release, special shout-out to @branpos, @arnauld, @evilpeacock, @lminiero & @jpburstrom for helping out on these last meters!

    1.0 is now out for all platforms and is accompanied by a new, video-augmented tutorial, completely overhauled documentation and more available packages than ever – Enjoy!

    #hyper8

  20. If you were ever wondering how the high tech tools and process behind the layout and design for Faircamp and Hyper 8 looks, here are some random outtakes from a small stack of cardboard and paper behind my chair (just sorted through some of it).

    The first and second are interface explorations and considerations for #hyper8 (all implemented already), the third was me trying to wrap my head around podcast-related data model considerations for #faircamp a few days ago (future stuff).

    (This is only 5-10% of the process though, if and when I feel like I lack a "mental image" for where to go next. Otherwise I spend most of the time just experimenting and iterating directly in the target media - html/css/rust - not really separating design from implementation work, most of the time)

  21. Today I finalized the Hyper 8 splash graphics for 1.0 - pictured here in the desktop application launcher, in-editor splash screen dialog, and in their raw source variants open in Inkscape (I use #inkscape for pretty much all graphics in Hyper 8 - icons, logo variants, etc.).

    Aaaalmost there!! (⌒‿⌒) #hyper8

  22. Hyper 8 Video System 0.24 is now officially out on all platforms! \(^ヮ^)/

    This is a HUGE release, and here are the highlights:

    1. Hyper 8 is now a Desktop application (!!) – with a CLI edition available as well

    2. Collaborative mode – share the graphical editor over (W)LAN and build a site together

    3. New transcripts feature – allows to interactively search and jump around in videos

    4. New distribution channels for macOS (.app), RPM-based Linux, DEB-based Linux (cli edition), AUR (bin/cli edition)

    For all changes, screenshots and videos check out the release page:
    simonrepp.com/hyper8/changes/0

    What's more: In only about three weeks Hyper 8 version 1.0 will be released! Any and all testing and reports of issues are highly welcome - let's make this an epic and rock-solid release! \o/

    Thank you so much to the austrian open source funding program netidee.at, who are funding this work throughout 2025!

    Thanks as well to this release's awesome contributors: @Lioh, @aflands, Matthias Bilger, @lislegaard and @evilpeacock - cheers everyone!

    If you're new to Hyper 8: It's a hybrid (GUI+CLI) static site generator for video publishing! You can learn more and discover some sites running Hyper 8 on simonrepp.com/hyper8.

    And that's all. (⌒‿⌒) #hyper8

  23. Hyper 8 is now officially available as an RPM package! (featuring the very latest release: 0.24)

    I'm building these on Fedora 38, so the packages should work on RPM-based distros released in the last 2+ years. As I don't know how exactly rpm compatibility works across CentOS, RHEL, openSUSE¹, etc., gladly let me know if you run into any issues!

    Downloads are available at simonrepp.com/hyper8/download. (ノ´ヮ`)ノ*: ・゚

    ¹ Note that for openSUSE specifically, packages are kindly provided here - software.opensuse.org//downloa - by Edgar Aichinger (version 0.23 at the time of writing but he reguarly updates them too!)

    #hyper8

  24. Hey video folks! Hyper 8 Video System 0.24 - the last beta ahead of the 1.0 release in October (!!) ^^ - is out as of today!

    Above all else this release turns #hyper8 into a full-fledged desktop application. \o/ This in turn means that I'm overhauling and extending all packaging processes (and will keep doing so the coming days) and today is therefore more of a "soft launch" :)

    Debian, Arch and Windows are already provided with packages for the full desktop edition, macOS for the time being still with a homebrew-based CLI only build (with an apple silicon .app release in the making) and there are likely more Linux packages coming still. 8) I'll do the full, formal announcement as soon as all packages are in place ...

    ... until then check out these exciting exciting release notes ヽ(⌒▽⌒)ノ and test away!!

    simonrepp.com/hyper8/changes/0

  25. I think #hyper8 version 1.0 will be ready for primetime in October already. (⌒‿⌒)

    Attached you're seeing the desktop application launcher, in which I'll probably still put new header graphics, but other than that this is pretty much final (and fully functional already).

    Next weeks will be mostly wrapping up some usability stuff in the editor, one session to resolve apple-specific issues, fixing one last remaining blocking bug in the desktop integration (potentially in collab with the Tauri team, already reported it), and then finally, working out desktop package distribution workflows for all platforms (which *might* be extended by rpm, AppImage and potentially ARM-based builds? ... no promises yet ;))

    Yaaaayyyy °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

  26. Updates day today - I've updated my #WriteFreely to v0.16 (now includes fediverse:creator tags), and my #Hyper8 to v0.23.

    .. I hear there may be a new #Faircamp release out shortly as well!

  27. Ever watched a video on YouTube just for the music?

    Ever wished you could stream _just the audio_ when you do?

    The Hyper 8 Video System - your friendly, independent alternative to YouTube - now allows you to!

    With this, I proudly present Hyper 8 v0.23:

    Audio-only streaming, Customizable ordering for playlists and subcollections, Site design and layout refined, Deployment from CLI, and much more!

    simonrepp.com/hyper8/changes/0

    Hyper 8 is a hybrid (GUI+CLI) static site generator for video publishing. To learn more and discover some sites running Hyper 8, check out simonrepp.com/hyper8!

    Thank you so much to this release's contributors - @arnauld, @cameralibre, DURAD, ecogex and @lislegaard - and especially to netidee.at for funding these extensive developments throughout 2025 (with more still to come)!

    And that's all for today. Thanks for your attention! \ʕ◕ᴥ◕\ʔ

  30. @xorgrox Two angles to this:

    If #faircamp itself (i.e. "the faircamp website") were to collect this data and/or serve a central hub for discovery it could eventually put faircamp (and by extension, myself) in a gatekeeping position for music discovery, and that's something I proactively want to avoid.

    What is very desirable for me however is finding and supporting (potentially decentralized, but at the very least community governed) mechanisms of discovery (and I think that by design already shoud go far beyond faircamp sites, i.e. entirely agnostic of the platform ideally).

    I'm not much involved in this latter quest right now simply for time reasons - building out the foundational featureset for faircamp (and #hyper8) currently consumes all the time I have at my disposal - but the more these things consolidate the more I can (and probably will) get involved with that too. :)

    @pkirn

  31. I'm excited to announce that Hyper 8 Video System 0.22 is now available!

    simonrepp.com/hyper8/changes/0

    This release includes _major_ updates in multiple areas, including a new browse & search navigation in the header, a new toggleable playlist sidebar for video pages, a new outro screen for navigating playlists from the video player itself, visual guides for poster image cropping, LQIP-augmented thumbnails, new shortcuts and an accompanying help panel, cache and CLI improvements, fixes, and finally, a new, official logo icon design.

    For screenshots, videos, and detailed breakdowns of all these changes, check out the dedicated release page for Hyper 8 v0.22, linked above!

    Thank you so much to netidee.at for funding the extensive work on this release! Many thanks as well to @fadimat, @lislegaard and @dried for reporting some of the issues that were resolved in this release, it's greatly appreciated. Also thanks to all of you who support the project, spread the word, and run Hyper 8 sites out there - it's a pleasure to see so much happening!

    If you're new to #hyper8, you can check out the website (which received updates for 0.22 as well!): simonrepp.com/hyper8

    0.23 development will start in a few days already – there is still a lot of cool stuff on the roadmap for 2025. Stay tuned!

  32. Hyper 8 has a small number of keyboard/mouse shortcuts (maybe you already discovered them :)). The upcoming version 0.22 will add some new ones alongside the new browse/search navigation, and also adds a help panel so people can discover them on #hyper8 sites themselves.

    (And I just noticed I forgot to document arrow key-based navigation in the video timeline, which already exists, whoops. :))

  33. A few people asked if I'd recorded the launch live stream from last Friday - sadly not, you had to be there.

    However, I have managed to recreate and record the final section of it - for the track "Rebirth" by the mysterious Bonkwave Heresy.

    And spun up a brand new #Hyper8 site just to host it :)

    (thank you @freebliss for making this so easy!)

  34. For some reason I made a video where I play through a rough sketch of a new song I'm currently making in the synthwave-style. Melodic parts are mainly finished, but drums needs some more work.

    video.desolationpark.se/new_so

    I think the main reason was technical curiosity to try out #Hyper8 (a self hosted static site generator for video), but it led to gaining motivation to continue working on this song. You never know which things leads to other things...

    And of course, all the videos are hosted on fair platforms, like PeerTube or Hyper8, or self-hosted, because that’s our jam on NHAM.
