What keeps you away from PeerTube? What features does PeerTube lack? If you were the developer of PeerTube, how would you improve it?

I really liked the livestream feature that was on reddit a few years ago. Would be cool to have a fediverse version of that, where people could casually stream from their phones with just a peertube app.

Yeah. We do have PeerTube Live, but it's not official and integrated into the PeerTube app itself. It also can't stream the screen of the phone, so there's that.

Ok that's pretty close! The reddit thing was about streaming your camera, and having a chat window where you could read comments from viewers.

The other key element was having a place where viewers could see what was currently streaming. That allows people to casually go see "what's on" without needing to coordinate with livestreamers to set up a time to watch, keep track of streamer channels, etc.
