Going to launch a demo for Android in the weekend, but without login... It's already working pretty nicely for watching videos. I still need figure out Flutter a little more to become more productive
Tiktok has a huge advantage in having so much licensed music they can offer, all of which came at the premium expense of purchasing Musical.ly. Though it's funny to imagine a scrolling banner and super long npub floating across the shared videos. Despite being obnoxious, it's a great onboarding strategy, and doubles for creator discovery. (Users sign up to follow their creator which shared the video elsewhere)
Of course any Nostr client can opt for a pet name or otherwise which might serve as @handles on videos like that.
It would be interesting to see Nostr take on a similar role by employing something like stemstr.app to crowdsource audio for content creation in a tiktok-like client. An app serving tiktok video creation would also open the door for a generated-effects economy model.
Let's also not forget that Reddit serves 1B annual users simply by aggregating hyperlinks and offering collapsible comment sections 😶
They might ban twitter in EU soon as well. Having and option like nostr is not enough though. People must know about it (majority never heard) and it must be EASY to use (far from it).
So yes, making a tiktok alternative sounds fun but..
