This has been my main project for the past week and a half. Things were slow going at first because I was also learning how to use Node.js well (most of my professional development experience is in Python).

The interface is simple mostly because I am not very good at web design. It is minimalist because I don't know how to do anything else!

Fullscreen is an improvement I would like to add soon. It wasn't working well during development because I actually run it with two video players - with the hidden one loading the next video so that the cutover is quick.

The videos are shown at their highest-possible resolution in the window now, though, so at least we aren't missing out on any quality (though it would be great if Instagram allowed users to upload higher resolution source videos).

Unfortunately, not all browsers play nice with Video.js/HTML5 video and the SoundCloud widget. If that's you, check out the live stream I'm running right now on Twitch!

That's how I feel too! It's like a strange little window to life all across the world.

Yeah felt the same. The beginning of a documentary about something global and intimate :) Hard to look away, feel like I'll miss a moment forever.

Thank you! That's how I feel too. It's especially fun watching it at different times of day - seeing videos from sunrise and morning commutes on the other side of the world!
