Hyper 8 is in Beta
Hyper 8 provides a complete package for video publishing on the web. A dozen sites are already live out there using it! Officially, Hyper 8 is still in Beta though, so occasionally things might still be moving around a bit in the interface. Making backups of your Hyper 8 site directory is also generally recommended while Hyper 8 is still in beta.

Major developments in 2025 are being funded by netidee, a campaign by the austrian Internet Stiftung.
