The README makes it sound like this uses TikTok, or at least that's how I read it. I think it's just an app that has a TikTok-like UX. You may want to reword things to highlight who would use this and why you built it.
Agreed. It's weird, and probably also a trademark violation? It's not saying that it's "like" a TikTok feed, it's saying that it "is" a TikTok feed.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yup, it's a sketchy-sounding concept. Is it for "your own videos," or TikTok videos? Why does it have the TikTok logo in it?? It looks like it's a fork or repackaging of someone else's TikTok "clone." The author's writing is fluent, but the whole thing is kind of odd. This is the Internet; the developer could be 17. Who knows.

To me the Readme seems absolutely professional. Putting together some React UI lib, use Caddy, put it all in Docker, write a comprehensive Readme with everything there is to know about it and release it. Looks pretty standard (in a good way) to m…
"vertical video feed" would be more accurate, it's nothing like tiktok other than it being a vertical video feed
Agree. It's interesting that people in tech still don't get that what makes Tiktok so much better than Shorts/Reels is TikTok's semi-manually curated recommendations. They algorithmically detect user interest clusters and manually curate high quality videos for the the biggest clusters.
This is great for creating a media-garden for your children! Kid content on YouTube and TikTok can be extremly disturbing, even for an adult. Until they turn 16 I intend to vet most media myself on a self-hosted server.
The kids were utterly enthralled. I wish I could find a link to the video but it was just some autoplay on a smart tv and I never managed to grab it before leaving the party.

I thought things had changed after ElsaGate but I peeked into the airbnb room at a friend's party the other day and the kids were watching youtube, and it seems that type of content still has a hold. The kids were watching some really long video of this guy that kept making an AI-esque youtube-thumbnail style open mouth face after some 5 second event occured. E.g: Man runs into door, makes youtube face. Man tries to…

Using the TikTok logo in the app is kinda inappripriate, but otherwise yeah, I think just saying “TikTok for X” gets the idea across in the most concise way. Adding some info on what the videos could be from would be nice though (i.e. do I paste a bunch of YouTube links, or upload files myself, or..?)

Are you going to use the same methods your parents used to do this for you/
