Farcaster Video Request

If you're on desktop/laptop and you play a video, it should have the option to play picture in picture mode so you can doom scroll while watching a video.

Dash

building /dash — obsessed with user experience.

Tinkering on Farcaster and writing about it. Built /ambassadors (hiatus) https://kylepatrick.xyz

Building a little space at /thenextwave and watching everything on /videolab.

Oh yes, I love dash! 

It would be great if that gets integrated as a button in the video, probably “watch via dash” or something

There’s no picture in picture (yet?) but /dash allows you to play a video and minimize it while scrolling your regular feed. So at least you can keep listening to it.

😂you’ve def got a wicked reason for this

Farcaster supports regular video but it’s very limited from a content creators position tbf. i thought you’d prioritize improvements like for all video content eg. resolution changes, cutting video directly in app, airplay buttons, picture-in-picture, timestamps, adding captions/stickers etc.. making content creation and viewing video content better, before making a dedicated swipe video feed.

“We *may* have regular video in there, but” is the concerning part to me. I don’t like X’s tiktok like feed either but they still continue to incentivize & support long form content over short form eg. Giving long form content a special format where video is above post text (see tucker carlson interviews), not excluding it from their swipe feed. Horizontal content looks better in a text based feed especially on mobile as vertical takes up alot of screen real estate.

Suggested that to dan a few days ago when they started their vertical video push, can see his response here. Essentially don’t believe something like that is the correct context
