BreadTube.tv

**BreadTube.tv** was a collaborative video aggregation website to list content posted on r/BreadTube and adjacent communities. The videos were organized chronologically with channels sourced from posts on r/BreadTube subreddit then the videos were synced from YouTube. The maintainers also offer to assist content creators and automate migration from YouTube to PeerTube. The project was developed by engineer Dirk Kelly with the graphics and wireframe designed by Daniel Torres. The website launched on January 20, 2019.

The source code is released under AGPL-3.0 license written in Ruby on Rails and ran on Docker. It used to be compiled with Hugo and GoLang under the GNU GPL v3 license. The website was hosted on Netlify using JAMStack.

The Discord server is managed and moderated by people from the subreddit community.

The website was sometimes cited as a dataset in journal articles for figuring out what BreadTube is. RationalWiki used to refer to BreadTube.tv as an authoritative source before deleting the wiki article on March 21, 2021.

The repository on GitHub entered public archive on January 1, 2022. The website was then decommissioned on April 30, 2022 and the web address currently redirects to the PeerTube instance.
