I'd do that too but it would be cached and updated hourly. Why hit the Twitter api on each request?
You could set the app up to call the Twitter API but cache the response in memory or something like Redis so you don't need any background jobs/file management etc.

#94I don't get it .. why am I getting the same videos for the last 4 times I've viewed this thing??? Anyone else experience that?

These are neat, but in my mind, TikTok is far more about the ForYou algorithm than the fact that it's a scrolling feed of videos. The latter is fairly easy to do, as showcased by this very thread. Any decent engineer can throw together a demo like this fairly easily. TikTok's huge success though seems to be due to how good it is at predicting what people will like, which is something that even Youtube struggles to so…
The algo has been failing pretty bad; "hide videos from this user" does not work anymore, i suspect it can only deal with a limited number of ignores. Last summer I did an experiment, tapping "not interested" on any food-related video (I was on a diet) and yet i kept being shown food videos.
The former issue may be intentional. I've seen many recommendation algos not quite letting users shoot themselves in the foot. It's like how if you subscribe to 1000 channels on Youtube, it'll start only showing you the videos you actually watch instead of all the videos.
The latter is strange, but generally for me it has worked pretty well, without even needing to rely too much on "not interested". For example, in March I started playing Animal Crossing, and a week later my feed was 50% ACNH content. Then I stopped playing around May, and a few weeks later, I was quickly down to maybe 1 a day and now I'm at 1 a week maybe.
That being said, I like and share videos frequently, so that may be a good signal of what I'm currently interested in to the app.

That's just the ouput cache of the algorithm's last run. The algorithm itself is pretty advanced and is run on the developers's biological neural net.
Love the term *biological neural net"
Great way to say "still in the noggin"

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 mobi…
I removed this feature for compatibility reasons.
I think there are ways to do it but I couldn't get it to work. I believe chrome makes exception to this rule for big trusted websites like YouTube

#100Cool, please add keyboard controls. Really addictive idea but swiping on a laptop isn't fun
