Is anybody building a NOSTR client that is video-focused like Tik Tok? (vertical videos, swipe up/down rather than scroll)
Feels like that is an obvious play

Amethyst does this the best so far, but it's not it's main feed.
It needs a tag, like vertical video format. Maybe relays can check media meta data and provide a filter for it.
The real challenge is file hosting that is censorship resistant and perfomant. Satalite seems to be the onlything that is offering asolutuion. Then more clients can really focus on media experiences.
Vertical videos... 🤮😆🏳️
I used to be a horizontal video maxi but it’s fighting a losing battle.
i agree this would be great. two things that would be important to making this experience work well is 1) user data and 2) algorithms. the magic of tiktok is that you don’t have to follow people to get good videos you just show up and start swiping. and the data you generate by dwelling on a video for longer, or leaving it to repeat, indicates to the system something that may give it a hint at what kinds of videos you might like (kind of like a “topic soft follow”). i think to do a good version of this on nostr in addition to video hosting (which i think is well under way with things like Blossom) we’d need more clarity on how to think about algorithms and user-consumption data and the selective revealing to clients.
Do you mean the Blossom spec?
Amethyst has this if you click the little video icon in the bottom menu bar
Amethyst has that feature
Yes
I'm running two Blossom mediaservers atm :) More are popping up and integration into clients has just began.
