A test of two pieces: a browser-first video upload pipeline and a swipe-based player with thread-on-card chat. Built end-to-end on AWS — S3, MediaConvert, Lambda, CloudFront.
Drop a video. Watch it compress in-browser, upload directly to S3, transcode to HLS adaptive bitrate, and stream back via CloudFront.
TikTok-style vertical swipes or Tinder-style horizontal cards. Tap up to open a thread. Same videos, two interaction patterns.
This is an exploration toward a larger project — a verified-human social network where activity is the proof of presence. These two POCs validate the video stack. Everything you upload here is public and may be deleted at any time.
