| This is one of those ideas that would really benefit from a short video demo, gif, or even a screenshot directly in the README. Otherwise, the title reads like a "Curtains for Zoosha?" meme. [0] [0]: https://www.reddit.com/r/BrandNewSentence/comments/15hcc4x/c... |

| There's a video if you click around... https://x.com/MaximeRivest/status/2073544461473169432?s=20 |

| ▲ | punk_ihaq a day ago | parent | next [-] | | https://xcancel.com/MaximeRivest/status/2073544461473169432?... For those without X accounts | | |
| ▲ | keithnz a day ago | parent [-] | | thanks! Now having seen the video, certainly not as cool as it sounds. | | |
| ▲ | irjustin a day ago | parent | next [-] | | What did you expect? For me the video is basically what I expected. Maybe a cool/spookier "full page" reveal but that doesn't really work with the token speed well. | | |
| ▲ | toraway a day ago | parent | next [-] | | For me, once a couple words loaded the cadence/pace of the streaming words in the response was so recognizably “ChatGPT” it immediately lost the sorta eerie mysterious feel and almost veered into parody/comedy. Like imagining the wizarding world full of Hogwarts students writing out prompts for “Write a 500 word history of the polyjuice potion, sound natural using my own voice, do not use em dashes, no mistakes.” | |
| ▲ | msftgreed a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | I expected, from the description, it to look like text was being written by hand -- with the letterforms being stroked at roughly human pen speeds. Not just a fancy font over a text box being entered character by character. The description WAY oversells it. |

| ▲ | int32_64 a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I remember for roughly a month after Elon bought twitter he opened the site up again and public viewers could browse it. Now you can't even click play on a video lol. | | |
| ▲ | ekianjo a day ago | parent [-] | | You can still open a single post just fine | | |
| ▲ | sillysaurusx a day ago | parent [-] | | Can anyone verify that you can/can’t see a video if you’re not logged in? | | |
| ▲ | chrismorgan a day ago | parent | next [-] | | I can see the video poster, but clicking on it opens a login popup rather than playing it. However, the thing is a link, and opening https://x.com/MaximeRivest/status/2073544461473169432/photo/... directly does play it. | |
| ▲ | jetrink a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I can see the video and view the first three seconds or so, but after that, it throws up a login prompt. | | |
| ▲ | fragmede a day ago | parent | next [-] | | An incognito window let me watch the whole 25 seconds with the user writing something and three book writing back, but I don't know if my IP or incognito cookies or anything else are special. | | |
| ▲ | sillysaurusx a day ago | parent [-] | | It would be ironic if you have to actually sign out from Twitter, not just use incognito mode, to bypass the signup nag. Or if they mark IPs as “signed up” or something. Thanks. |
| |
| ▲ | sillysaurusx a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | Thank you. As someone who tweets, this is helpful to know. |
| |
| ▲ | someguyiguess a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | You can. You just have to close 3 or 4 “please sign up” nag popups. | |
| ▲ | amarant a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I can see the entire video and I don't even have an account to log into. | |

twittervideodownloader.com | | | |
| ▲ | stronglikedan a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | must be your browser or something, or maybe regional. they play right away for me on Windows Chrome as a rando | | |
| ▲ | someguyiguess a day ago | parent [-] | | Nope. Thats just you. The rest of us have lots of issues. | | |
| ▲ | amarant a day ago | parent [-] | | Nope! Works on for me as well! Chrome on android... I think you guys are just being salty because it's X | | |
| ▲ | frollogaston a day ago | parent [-] | | Doesn't work for me, Chrome on Mac. Used a private window to test not being logged in. Got nothing against Twitter, but if I didn't already have an account, definitely wouldn't bother making one just to watch a video. |

| ▲ | petesoper a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | A new high water mark for R T F A. | | |
| ▲ | jxf a day ago | parent [-] | | Can't use the Twitter links if you don't have a Twitter account. Also, why make the user click away when they're trying to understand if your product does something interesting, and why do they need an account on an unrelated service when an image/gif embed would get the message across in 5 seconds? | | |
| ▲ | anigbrowl a day ago | parent [-] | | There are many workarounds like xcancel and nitter.net and xcancel.com that have been operating for a couple of years now. This is Hacker News, not Consumer Reports. | | |
| ▲ | chongli a day ago | parent [-] | | By that point I've lost interest in the project. Not a very good elevator pitch if you're losing people before they even see what it looks like. |

| ▲ | shajsiisiss a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | Americans: redirecting to some random quasi-nazi billionaire’s private project is considered bad taste on the other side of the pond. It’s like redirecting to Putin’s personal blog or something. It’s strange and not normal at all. |

| |
| ▲ | dvngnt_ a day ago | parent [-] | | After clicking play, there's a prompt to log in. I had to use a video downloader service to watch it | | |
| ▲ | chickensong a day ago | parent | next [-] | | You can just replace x.com with nitter.net, though their bandwidth sucks for media playback. | | |
| ▲ | rerdavies a day ago | parent | next [-] | | Harry Potter would have posted the original video to YouTube instead. It seems like a tragic irony, and perhaps a sign of danger, that OP posted the demo video to the website of He Who Should Not Be Named. Why? Why?! | | |
| ▲ | sillysaurusx a day ago | parent [-] | | Because Twitter posts consisting of YouTube links die quickly. It’s very obvious once you have a few thousand followers. Your option is basically either upload to twitter, or put the YouTube link at the end just before a screenshot. Or both a video and a YouTube link, I suppose. If you trigger their YouTube embed, it seems like it gets penalized quite harshly. I’ve seen other people agree with the sentiment. | | |
| ▲ | rerdavies a day ago | parent | next [-] | | Twitter posts never die if you never post to Twitter in the first place. | |
| ▲ | recursive 12 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | What does it mean for a post to die, and why is that bad? | |
| ▲ | teaearlgraycold a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | Just don't use a Twitter post as your demo video in the GitHub readme. I don't care what someone does on Twitter - I never go there. But you can just embed a .gif or .webm in your readme or link to YouTube there. |

| ▲ | derbOac a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | The poster to x apparently has a bsky account also — I wish they would cross post. | |
| ▲ | emmelaich a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | or xcancel.com | | |
| ▲ | dvngnt_ a day ago | parent [-] | | that was my first move, but i got an infinite redirect |
|
| |
| ▲ | stronglikedan a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | could be regional cuz that don't happen in the US. they play right away regardless of log in status | | |
| ▲ | usea a day ago | parent | next [-] | | That's simply not true. | |
| ▲ | georgemcbay a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I'm in the US and twitter videos don't play for me. I see what looks like a video control when I view the post, when I click it, it throws up a modal log in/sign in dialog. No way to view the video while logged out. | | |
| ▲ | sethammons 18 hours ago | parent [-] | | I don't have a twitter or x account. I clicked the link, a log in modal popped up, I dismissed it, then was able to play the video. Firefox on iPhone if it matters. | | |

| > Otherwise, the title reads like a "Curtains for Zoosha?" meme. This is also why capitalization is important. In the title, "remarkable" refers to "Remarkable Paper Pro", a tablet. Not knowing that "Fable turned remarkable into Tom Riddle's diary" is very hard to parse. |
| |
| ▲ | themadturk a day ago | parent [-] | | A Remarkable tablet was the first thing I thought of, but it was still so unclear I had to click through to actually understand (more or less) what was going on. |
