ok maybe the rest of the fediverse isn't ready for my bad karaoke loops videos so I deleted it, but don't worry loops fam, we don't judge on loops!

I don't care what you think, my voice is beautiful!!!

Loops is a new platform for sharing short videos, and it's open source + federated using #ActivityPub

We're really excited to share this sneak peek that showcases the new onboarding flow and discovery features (Connect Mastodon) and look forward to the upcoming beta release!

Are you ready for #Loops ?

One that was played a lot when everyone was locked down in their homes - it has a vibe for sure.

Evolution of how I think of #loops while #coding:

1. When I first learned "loops":

while (condition is true) {do these things, adjust things so a slightly new condition is checked}

// That's where I first saw infinite loop and how there are intentional infinite loops.

2. A small step to move condition update out of the loop body:

for (i=0; i< N; i++) {do these things}

// After the couple of days it took to get used to them, I found them neater and closer to how I think of things.

3. Most of the time, the i from before is indexing into something, so let's directly deal with the item being indexed:

for item in collection:
do stuff

After the few days to rewire syntax muscle memory, going back would decidedly feel like a step back.

I don't want to give up automatic (and transparent) out-of-bound checks.

4. There are actually only about 3/4 things one does inside a loop:

map/fold/scan/filter function-to-call collection-to-traverse-through

;; Getting rid of explicit indexing was just step one.
-- After a few days/months/years, I now realize that it is more important and less buggy if I think only of the function to call (and whether I want to end up with a new (maybe pruned) collection, a single thing, or "both" (that's how I think of scans))

---

Alternatively, my evolution as I learned new #programming languages idioms:
#KandR -->
#cpp or #java -->
#python -->
#lisp or #haskell --> ???

✨ Improved Loops Share menu

Now with a new "Not Interested" button to help train the For You feed along with Bookmark and Report features!

#loops

dansup, 1 month ago to random

Loops will launch with a chronological only feed, then a Followers feed and finally the For You feed.

Before we can serve personalized feeds, we need to build and label the video and topic graphs. We will be A/B testing the For You page during the next few weeks. You will be able to tell because there will a new For You header menu!

✨ Iconic Onboarding

With Loops, you will be able to take advantage of your Mastodon (or Pixelfed) account to find friends based on accounts you're already following!

Discovery is crucial, and we're making it even easier ⚡️

I've seen people mention that the Loops push notifications are dark patterns, and that is not my intention at all

I'm not encrypting the notifications and they can be collected by various parties (NSA, Apple, Google) so I didn't want to include any more metadata than I needed to

Hope you understand!
