I wrote my own streaming app for Android TV. Do you want me to open source it?

Hello;

I tried to explain why open-sourcing a program is a good idea. I hope my explanation helps you.

Anyone who can will be able to read the code (and that means if someone tries to add malicious code people would notice), and it also makes it easier to contribute to the program, programmer or not. Programmers can fix the program on their own and then ask for their fix to be added. Or, if they don't know why something isn't working (or don't have time, or aren't programmers at all), they can create an issue: it's like a post, and anyone can comment on it. If the main programmer/s didn't find out what was wrong someone else might.

Why doesn't DuckDuckGo return any results for "PeerTube"?

Searching "PeerTube" doesn't return any results. peertube (all lower case) doesn't return anything either. What's funny is that "pertube" returns the correct results for "PeerTube". It seems like it works like this: If the IP requesting the search is from my country and it's searching PeerTube or peertube it's going to block the search. But why should it?! PeerTube isn't blocked here. YouTube is though.
