Does anybody know of a good #PeerTube app for #iOS? #NewPipe gets lots of love on the Android side, but I've heard nothing about iOS. Bonus points if it's #accessible.

They've struggled to get their consumer-grade product out for several years now, though the underlying software is open source and you can install it on any Linux machine today.
They released their backend under AGPL:

“Facebook blocking @accessnow
&other orgs. in Australia is not a reaction to a bad draft law, but a flex: @facebook
