Show HN: I made a TikTok for short-form videos on Reddit

The app uses the Reddit api, it autoplays videos and you can scroll for the next video. Routes mirror Reddit's, so /r/FunnyAnimals will pull up videos from that sub. Works on both desktop and mobile.

Built it to see if using the TikTok interface would improve watching this type of content on Reddit.

There is another app like this called Mix (it's the evolution of StumbleUpon). I quite like it

Thanks for checking it out. Hadn't used Mix before, I can see the similarities. The app is a lot simpler than what they've done; I wanted a stream of new videos and a way to consume them quickly on a website. Any social interaction like commenting or upvoting are handled on Reddit.

With my usage, I don't want to log in to another site and I like that I could browse by user or multiple subs: https://ayayay.app/r/AnimalsBeingDerps+animalsdoingstuff+aww...
