#3The 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.

#5"vertical video feed" would be more accurate, it's nothing like tiktok other than it being a vertical video feed

#6This 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.

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.

They may be 17 or 57, why does that matter?
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 me.
Granted, the Tiktok reference is a bit clickbaity. But that's just Github in the year 2024, isn't it?
