loops.video, the short video video platform I'm building is shaping up and I've made some UI/UX decisions:

- Explore without an account

- Graceful federation UI/UX (so not to confuse new users)

- Login with Pixelfed or Mastodon

- Simple navigation, dragging left will open the camera and right will open the profile of the current video

- Comments will ship without threading support initially

- Hashtags and mentions eventually

@dansup @loops Exploration without login/registration is quite an important aspect. A good decision, in my eyes! :ablobcatheartsqueeze:

@dansup @loops Yes!! "exploring without an account" is sooo important for fast growth!

One of the things that frightened me when I first considered "joining the fediverse" was that it wasn't very convenient to explore it at-large from one place, without creating an account. I was scared of getting into it without fully knowing what I was *actually* getting into.

I therefore think that it would be extremely valuable for loops to have a neat, well-fledged UX for non-logged in users too!
