Christian SeligYouTube wouldn't build an app for the Apple Vision Pro, so I did! Introducing Juno, an Apple Vision Pro app for YouTube, now available at http://juno.vision 📺🥽
I wrote a blog post with an overview all about Juno, its features, and how it works if you're curious! https://christianselig.com/2024/02/introducing-juno/
Introducing Juno for Apple Vision Pro
YouTube is probably one of the parts of the internet I consume the most, so I was more than a little sad when YouTube announced that they don’t have plans to build a visionOS app, and disabled the option to load the iPad app. This leaves you with Safari, and the website is okay, but definitely doesn’t feel like a visionOS app. Couple that with visionOS not having the option to add websites to your Home Screen, and YouTube isn’t that convenient on visionOS by default.
And here's a quick overview video showing it in action. I'm looking forward to trying it on an actual device tomorrow, I really feel like Apple Vision Pro is going to make such an amazing YouTube experience 🥳
Also, there will no doubt be some bugs, out of a combination of a mad rush plus only having simulator access (until tomorrow morning), but let me know your feedback and I'll be on it!
manfredz@christianselig Love all your work! My first thought after reading about the new app was what will happen if Youtube restricts the API or starts charging money for it’s use? Are you setting yourself up for the same problems down the road? Why not create an app for Peertube (preferably open source)?
