It would be great if the author could explain where the performance gains come from and what the internal mechanics of the project are. Does it piggy back onto the existing react repo? Is it just a forked react repo with performance improvements? Giving some insight on that may give your potential users a good reason to jump onto the bandwagon.

Twitter never tried to monetize the platform. Not only that, it was prohibited to content creators to make product placements. I think it could be profitable with sponsored posts and in-app purchases. That said, I don't think any VC would jump on anytime soon to finance such venture.

It doesn't have a desktop version, which makes me think it's not really. I'd release a desktop first version with a video editor for creating nice loops.

I think Periscope aligns more with Twitter's "live" vision. But yes, it's definitely next if anything.

It definitely does seem to align better. It was pretty interesting watching the debate on their platform and I can imagine sportsball getting more involved there as well

I watched a sportsball on Twitter once and it was really the same as ESPN's site or the pirate streams from reddit, once you fullscreen it. Just another live stream, there (thankfully) wasn't any Twitter integration popping over the sports.

I'll take that for a yes!

Just a few things that came up to mind when I first arrived on the website:

As a UI/UX perfectionist, the dark theme gives me a terrible vibe. It's just not well executed. I think you guys would be much better off with a white themed site. Look at inspiration from the new Stripe website!

I do believe that the splash page could be redesigned much better, it's very dull and it doesn't really have a major call to action when I land. You should make the signing up / searching more in your face.

Secondly, the tagline is horrible, not everyone is familiar with Pandora and the concept of the station, etc.

Good place to iterate from though! Good luck!

Thanks for your thoughts, appreciate the feedback! We've gotten lots of mixed reactions on the dark theme (e.g. some people have said it stands out from most current sites with white themes), but it's something we're thinking about. Thanks also for your points on the home page - we're continuing to iterate on that too.

Agreed, please hire a designer.

That's cool man! I always wanted to get into Vue.js also. I really like the framework.

Go seems awesome as well. There are just so many frameworks and languages now, who knows what to pick any more haha!
