Whaaat? Send video reply as a comment?

I would like to see the ideal use case, and the worst-case-scenario of using this tool.

I would recommend options below each comment/video: thumbs up (with number), thumbs down (with number), and report comment/video link or icon (with reason why options or comment area).

Edit: added an option

Right, I already have the comment voting in mind, and I will add that feature soon! Also, thanks for bringing up the reporting option, by having that our community could help together on doing the moderating. Such a good suggestion! Thanks a lot!

It is unclear what the goal of this project is.

-Are you planning on open sourcing it for any website?

-Could this be a browser add-on that enables this in any comment section?

-Are you planning on partnering with Disqus or other similar offering to release this or sell?

-Is this only for your website?

-Is this a service you will be offering at a price in the future? If so, why not have an email signup to be notified?

-Are there other use cases for this functionality other than websites?

Hmm, it's only for my community lonely.dev. No plan to modularize it to sell, it is just a fancy tool to serve our community better so that people can send more personalized responses, and have more human interactions.

Moderating this would be hell. :)

I’m fairly certain that youtube had this feature at some point. https://www.522productions.com/discontinued-youtube-ends-vid...

Someone tweeted me that we are not the number one

Our community has some bars in order to submit new videos or send video replies. Right now most of our members are with high fidelity. But you are right, as time goes, and community becomes bigger, we do need to spend time on moderating. I will put it on my top list!!! Thanks!

Some of the moderating could be solved by providing the "report video/comment" option.

You are totally right, will have that soon!
