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!

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

Loops app will support Edits in the next release ✨

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.

Loops Admins: The new admin dashboard now auto updates every 30 minutes, and is cached for faster loads ⚡️

It's easy to disable, just set `LOOPS_ADMIN_DASHBOARD_AUTOUPDATE=false`

That fraction of a second where a UI feels "off" can break the experience.

I just refactored the remote follow logic in Loops. No more jarring "Cancel Follow Request" button.

Now, you get a clean spinner that resolves to the "Unfollow" button you expected to see.

Because the user experience is everything ✨

For the Loops For You algorithm to work properly, we need data.

It's tricky when it comes to remote video posts because we can't properly track the metrics we use in the algo.

This is why I'm considering limiting the For You feed to videos from Loops only (local or remote), while allowing you to see non-loops videos in your Following feed.

Wdyt? Feedback greatly appreciated ❤️

Been working on a new version of https://joinloops.org, it's gorgeous 😍

All that GSAP knowledge from my day job is finally paying off 😎

Hoping to ship it this weekend 🤞
