Show HN: Like Hacker News, but for videos

• netgusto 9y ago
  Meant as a way for the hackers to enjoy a peer-curated and daily updated list of videos; like Hacker News, but for videos ! The source code is here on GitHub : https://github.com/netgusto/hackervid.io https://github.com/netgusto/hackervid.io

    Heh... apparently it's for everything, you haven't quite solved the problem of having it be "for videos" yet, unless you're just planning to delete non-video submissions. If you want to limit it to just video submissions, you might want to have a whitelist of sites users can select from in the submit form, and then do some scraping/API work to find actual video links in the URLs. Having embeds in the threads would be nice, too. Also, to me personally, your favicon and banner color look a bit too much like Youtube's.

  I suggest canonizing the youtu.be links to youtube.com. (I'm not sure about stripping the minute and seconds in the URL.)
