Focusing on Amethyst's video tab for the next days. How would you improve it?
Discussion
Make it just videos and like TikTok so people can maybe start using it as the TikTok Alternative
Hey Tiktokers, now is your time to shine. #TikTokRefugees
Some visible reference to the date posted would be nice.
Realizing that could be read as passive aggressive, didn't mean it as such 😅
i would zap it ⚡
I would guess some sort of video and photo editing capabilities, filters, etc. I don't come from that world so I can't make a whole lot of suggestions here.
Remember my playback speed.
Mute by default, and auto remute when the videos done.
Auto restarting videos is annoying and confusing.
Haven't spent much time there due to lack of content (or at least what interests me) but I'd suggest hiding the create new note button after a swipe or two. If someone is going to create they'll do it straight away. If consuming content it takes real estate. 🤷 Seems picky but idk it looks like a good video feed to me.
You'll need to set the profile picture on the same side of the reactions and inline-spacing it like fixed pixel between them.. Also I think it's more well showed the video if it's a full-screen..
You could think to propose sets of tagged videos if you scrool left the screen!
Having some way to favorite accounts across the top might be interesting. When I open it I don't really understand why I am seeing the video I am seeing and in what order.
Provide option to create your own custom feeds. Like individual follow lists which could include hashtags. Same as twitters lists, other people could subscribe to each other's lists. Zap sharing potential
Quick mockup ideas: Following/trending tab at top to show only videos of those you fdllow vs trending. Added numbers beside the replies, zap, like, boosts. Room for description box near name box so that type would be faded.
Nice! But the numbers are already there :)
ahh right! I was just going from the image. I guess the main idea then is "Trending tab" vs "Following tab" for the Tik Tok functionality. Looking and feeling great!
I just realized Amethyst has the tabs as well! lol. My bad. It disappears after I scroll to next video and have to scroll back up for the options tab to re-appear. Maybe keep that tab on at all times? Or maybe I am just missing something again.
Na minha opinião o botão do like deveria ficar no topo, em vez do botão de comentário, caso não haja consenso sobre isso, coloque a opção do usuário escolher essa configuração.
Does it already support the "photo album" kinds? I haven't used Olas but from what I gather it allows for scrolling through a collection of images, like Instagram? Reddit apps also do this. It would seem appropriate so long as the feed serves images. If it already does, that's awesome.
Otherwise I would think the ability to only see only images or only videos, might be preferable. I don't see a setting for that, but it would be preferred.
Add history to find watched videos, move the buttons out of the picture, it makes no sense having them covering parts of the video.
Add a Nostr watermark, make them easy to download, top tab fade out for fullscreen after 3 seconds of watch time or so.
Dude. Photo and or video history would be huge. It can be a pain to find a good one later.
Many times, I can't read comments. They're hidden by the profile pic and buttons.
OK, maybe not comments, but the caption of the picture.
For starter, you might want to change the color of the icons/buttons on photos/videos from black to white as it shows in the photo you've shared. On my Amethyst, the icons are black and looks out of place for this reason. Sometimes black color is not visible for the color/contrast of the photo/video.
This is what I'm talking about. 
Is there a way to make it for videos only? I think filters would be a nice feature as well. Also, the users profile picture usually covers the caption.
1. Fix the geobutton
2. Recenter the landscape videos so that the Fullscreen button is reachable.
Is there a way to stop video loop, because my phone keep playing video on background when i lock the phone, and amethyst drain the battery, a workaround is to switch on a post without video
