It’s not finished. It’s not perfect. But it’s real. 🥹
Loops is now open, built in public, and growing every day — laying the groundwork for a future where you can build your own TikTok.
A future where governments can’t censor you. Where corporations can’t control the conversation. Where the social web belongs to the people again.
This is how it starts. ✊

@dansup well done! Congratulations. So needed. I hope it gets very successful.
@dansup is it intended to play on a web browser or in an app (TikTok is both). Also, like TikTok, can folks anonymously browse?
@hfinyow we support both web and app, and yes, you can anon browse!
We even have public tags and an explore page!

@dansup I feel abandoned having an early account on loops.video. No web interface, no federation.
@virtuous_sloth it’s coming this week, don’t worry!

It seems the joinloops.org front page doesn't like Firefox Mobile much. Slow to load, refuses to scroll, the buttons remain below the fold. @dansup

@dansup Dan, thanks for confirming no telemetry but can I also get you to confirm:
Are there any hooks/code for pushing ads/hashtags/etc? Either opt-in or opt-out?
@dansup I'm trying to figure out your "Login or Register" UX flow. On an Android phone from a Chrome browser, there's a "Login" but not a "Register" flow that I can see. Would love to try it out before I try learning TikTok !
@dansup congrats!! 🥳 excited to watch Loops continue to grow!
I might be missing something, but all I see on the web view is the landing page and the account dashboard. No way to access any feed that I can see.
