Doesn't seem to work at all in Firefox mobile but conceptually sounds fun, best of luck!

Firefox desktop also is completely busted. Would have loved to see it!

This is pretty cool, I like the aspect of simply watching videos. I think I made it to the end of videos though, not sure if this was intentional or if you want to continue to paginate videos forever lol. Appreciate your idea and work, keep chugging!

Neat idea! Bummed I can't use a scroll wheel; dragging with a mouse to emulate touch is not my favorite thing. Cool overall though

Wow, it didn't even occur to me to try dragging with a mouse. I'm on a touchscreen laptop and when touching-and-dragging didn't work (only moved the videos a little bit, but not enough to go to the next one), I just assumed it was mobile-only.

I don't follow your meaning. Could you explain more?

Upvotes from direct links don't count. It's an anti-spam technique.

You mean on product hunt?

Really great work! It looks and feels super polished. How long did this take? What was the most difficult aspect? What do you intend to do next?

It didn't take too long once I sat down and worked on it. I had the initial idea about a year ago but didn't coding on it til recently.

The hardest part was solving compatibility issues(still a wip) and not overcomplicating things.

Next is a product hunt launch tomorrow

And starting a kindle recycling non profit rekindlereading.org (very early website)
