[Frameworks] Peertube for experimental filmmaking?

[Nicholas Kovats]

Hi Pip,

I tried to sign-up for an Re:Voir account on my iPhone 14.x IOS but cannot.
The app is stuck in horizontal mode which is unlocked on my iPhone. I can
input and create account credentials but the save button is faded and does
not work.

Great initiative!

Nicholas
