Keeping your Loops server updated is important.
Just imagine how nice it would be for you, the admin, to get a notification when there is a new update available, as well as showing a big banner in the admin dashboard.
It would be pretty nice indeed. Stay tuned, I have some big admin dashboard improvements on the way 👀
Infinite pagination can be problematic.
- Encourages endless scrolling
- Decreased performance
- Crawlers can easily slurp up data
- Can become a ripe target for AI
I'm very aware of this, and created a CursorToken pagination helper that enforces max result limits using signed cursor pagination tokens.
We're using this throughout Loops for various endpoints, and it works very well!

Sometimes the smallest details can make the most difference.
The new Loops For You algorithm requires the latest version of Redis with Bloom Filter support.
We care a lot about user (and admin) experience, and made it easy to enable this feature, while carefully validating the system requirements first.

Sometimes you need to get creative and combine two icons, like I did for the new Loops Favourites feature.
The bookmark icon wasn't enough, I wanted to clearly indicate that it's only visible to you.
It worked!
Loops + Playlists, shipping soon!
RE: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/115596350786859898
Debating whether I should make Public playlists an OrderedCollection so they can be federated.
Since we allow playlist reordering, need to take that into consideration too.
The old Loops API docs got removed when I shipped the new https://joinloops.org website, so I'm quickly rewriting them!
This is the code that powers the new Loops Duet camera.
It shows the original video on the left or top of the screen, and your camera preview (front or back) and plays the og video while your recording. You can stop recording and it pauses, and resumes when you continue.
It supports both side-by-side and vertical layouts.

Edit: Apparently mastodon is breaking the url, its the [id].tsx file
I've been experimenting with AR filters for the Loops camera, it's so cool, I can write filters like you see in SnapChat, Instagram, TikTok.
Cat ears, or a puppy face, thanks to the power of react-native and worklets, we can build features like this that you only see on the biggest social platforms.
I'm working on an AP extension so we can use and share community created filters using a well defined spec powered by existing industry standards.
