    It would better to make peer tube super easy to use without needing to do more than cluck once on. A button and get going

    The thing holding open source back is the gatekeeping. Developers could spend more time actually working with u.i experts to make things easy, but no. Rather make everyone think it’s some magic that requires 50 steps.

    Make it easy to do business and give them a great product. That’s all that needs to be done. Do that foss community, and you’ll win.

      Working with you UX experts? You mean like hire them? With what money?

      Otherwise, the UX experts need to step up and volunteer their services, just like programmers do when they create FOSS.

      Can you show me an example of gatekeeping in this space? I am not sure that word means what you think it means.

      I mean it is open source, ANYONE can create a different UI and fork the code, which is drastic but an option.

      Are you saying you have submitted UI improvements as pull requests to several projects and had them tell you they would not merge due to a desire to keep the UI the way they designed it?
