I hope this project goes somewhere, but I feel like it may be too early for a public launch. I also think it may hurt the project to position itself so clearly as specifically a TikTok alternative given how difficult it is to replicate TikTok's defining characteristics - a powerful video editing app, ability to duo with other people's videos, and a famously good recommendation algorithm.

Thanks for your input! The live 'demo' is more as a way to get input from the people who are going to use it in the future :-)

For example the UI is still a WIP, I do not want to make a simple clone of TikTok itself but rather develop it along the way, the way the user wants it.

About the 'TikTok alternative', well that was my intention and the plan is it will get its own name and leaving the TikTok part all behind but at this stage it's a good way to get the right people to the project I think :-)
