A few months back, I had this idea to live stream tweets w/the #twerk hashtag that also had attached vines. Finally yesterday, I had some time to go ahead and put it together. A few hours later, I added some upvote/downvote, pagination & sorting and it was ready to go live!
...My web design portfolio website gets a few hundred hits a day, but this silly side project got that the first twenty minutes after I posted it around on the internet a bit! I know everyone says sex sells...but they weren't kidding! Still trying to wrap my head around how fast it took off. It's definitely not the next "big thing", but I'm just shaking my head at the analytics report right now!
For those interested, maybe it'll give you an idea for a goofy website/app that does well!

Nicely done little project.

It is being pulled directly from the vine so yeah people post things like that. You have to expect it now and then. Most are just of people dancing (though some *shouldn't* be lol)kimbo wrote:Tacobandito -Hey, you may want to monitor this ....I clicked on your link and was shocked to see someone masturbating.

Tacobandito - you should create your code as an app - I would love to do something similar for some topics but have no clue how you managed it.

Yeah, that's not surprising, hence the [nsfw] tag. I too was shocked at the stuff people post to vine/twitter. I do moderate, but I just remove stuff w/kids in it where I can, since that's creepy to look at IMO next to said girl masturbating. With updates every 2 seconds, it's hard to block everything, hence the "#uptwerk/#downtwerk" functionality removing a video if it has less than 50 "#uptwerks".kimbo wrote:Tacobandito -Hey, you may want to monitor this ....I clicked on your link and was shocked to see someone masturbating.

It actually was much easier than you might have expected. There's a public Twitter API that's very easy to work with, I simply looped through the "attached urls", and required one that included "https://vine.co/" in order to save/display/be shown. You simply need to drop the vine URL into their iframe tag with /embed/simple at the end. I suppose I could release it as an app, but I'd like to improve this to somehow include videos from other sources, and put a few more out myself before I dolabeshops wrote:Tacobandito - you should create your code as an app - I would love to do something similar for some topics but have no clue how you managed it.

Only slightly followed what you said!
I'd love to do something like it for Halloween for example though

I'd actually be interested in both. The Halloween one for my costume store of course, but I have another idea for a domain I own but don't have a store (or anything) on right now, so... hard to say
