Why not fork PeerTube and substitute their p2p technologies with IPFS?

What would be the advantages for IPFSTube to start everything from scratch?

This was originally just a demo I made to see if I could. It wasn't intended to be a thing people actually use.
People have been using it though, so I support it on a "some effort" basis.

Swapping out the storage backend on peertube to make it use IPFS sounds like a cool idea though.

@download13 Do you think it would be possible to maintain compatibility with current PeerTube videos (ActivityPub protocol) while using IPFS?

I don't know. I'm not familiar with how peertube works. If it just needs a URI to a video file then, you could probably back it with IPFS.
