Re:YouTube videos that have almost zero previous views on Monday July 15, 2019 @08:12AM (#20440046)
I created a very similar app:

https://alexgarces.github.io/loststories/

The titles of all the videos shown are random strings based on the default media file names of some popular devices, such as iPhone or Samsung Galaxy. Some examples of these titles would be IMG_8869.MOV, DSC 0711 or MVI 6710.

All the videos, requested in real time, are not more than one year old. They are almost undiscovered, usually with very few views (or not even one).

That sounds exactly like my current job. :(
Thank you! My idea from the beginning was to create a very simple and "brutalist" design to focus the attention on the videos.
Hello, here the creator.

LOSTSTORIES.TV is an infinite playlist of unknown and obscure IMGXXXX YouTube videos.

The titles of these videos are random strings based on the default media file names of some popular devices, such as iPhone or Samsung Galaxy. Some examples of these titles would be IMG_8869.MOV, DSC 0711 or MVI 6710.

All the videos, requested in real time, are not more than one year old. They are almost undiscovered, usually with very few views (or not even one).

Any feedback is welcome. Thanks! :)

The <address> example is wrong. <address> defines contact information, but it's not appropriate for all postal and e-mail addresses. http://html5doctor.com/the-address-element/

Amazing project and very inspiring! I'm curious about how do you scale to start getting revenue. For example, at remoteok.io companies have to pay to post a job. Was it for free at the beginning? How did you do the transition from free/low-fee to 200$? Thanks and keep up the good work!

Thanks a lot for the ideas! My idea is to use JavaScript in front-end and back-end, but I'm also considering Laravel with Vue.js. I did a small project with Laravel some months ago and I really liked it!

Thanks for the advice, I wasn't aware of that. I'm adding it to my profile.

Ask HN: Simple web app ideas?

Hello,I would like to build a simple web app during my summer vacation. My main goal is to improve my JavaScript skills and create something really valuable for my portfolio. I would like to cover all the aspects of a typical web app: users profiles and roles, auth, deployment, etc.I may have some ideas but I'm not totally happy with them. I would like it to be something more or less useful,...
