This really makes you appreciate how much higher quality TikTok videos are than Twitter! (no account/app needed-- https://www.tiktok.com/foryou )

I just got an endless stream of incredibly boring garbage. Gave the algorithm some feedback to tune it to my interests, but there's nothing there for me. I guess now I know what the fuss is about though.

I meant in terms of video bitrate-- regarding content, the default feed is unlikely to appeal to working professionals, but it does tune itself rather effectively when fed preference data. I have no idea if it will do personalization from the web site.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Does product hunt help at all? What's the objective and audience in posting there? Genuinely curious.

mostly a circlejrk with other hunters fake reviewing a product they haven't used and half of these things will be dead in a year. everything about PH screams fake.

Half? Extremely generous

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. } https://xkcd.com/221/

Much appreciated. I'll be in this thread answering any questions. Bug reports and feedback very welcome. This app was made with help from Tanya of techtwox.com

When you swipe to next video, you have to unmute each time. I know that mobile browsers only allow muted videos to auto play but was wondering if you’ve thought about finding a way to make it so that you only have to unmute the first video.

I know that this is possible to do, because for example YouTube is able to do that in mobile browsers. I don’t know how they do it, but for example if you open this link in a mobile browser and unmute it and allow auto play to continue to next video after it then notice that the next video is unmuted as well.

I guess it might be that they reuse the same player element that was unmuted or something like that.

I think it would be possible to achieve something similar even with multiple player elements by doing something clever.
