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!

Sorry about that here is a video:

Will make Firefox compatibility a priority

Didn't Twitter acquire Vine at some point? Whatever happened with all of that.

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

You mean on product hunt?

I think it means when coming to this page directly vs getting to it by clicking the link on the HN homepage.

Read the repository on Github. I like it; keep expanding the source code, this could be the next concept one day!

Slightly related but some Redditor "created a NSFW TikTok clone, with just portait-mode porn gifs, some with sound. (works best on mobile)":

Can the sound selection persist between videos? i.e if I turn it on for one video, I'd expect it would be on for the next video. Great stuff!

I had to remove this feature to get it to work on safari. Apple hates autoplay sound. (which as a user is overall a good thing)

It would still be nice if users can enable sound for all videos with one click. Currently you have to enable sound on each individual video.

This is truly the most advanced algorithm ever seen ;) https://twiktwok.github.io/firstVids.js

Reminds me of the best no-bullshit algorithm:

  int getRandomNumber()
  {
     return 4; // chosen by fair dice roll.
               // guaranteed to be random.
  }

FYI- To encourage more organic “karma” , votes that are cast from people who accessed direct links aren’t counted

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

It sounds like he's saying that depending on the Referer header for a loaded comments section, HN may or may not generate upvote buttons that are duds.

Looks like there's an auth parameter in the upvote GET request, so sounds entirely plausible.
