Erin – Open-source and self-hosted TikTok feed for your own videos

In plain words

Erin is an open-source, self-hosted platform that lets users create and manage their own TikTok-style video feed. Designed for developers and content creators who want control over their video platform, it allows users to host the application on their own servers rather than relying on third-party services. The project is available on GitHub for those interested in deploying or customizing their own instance.

Erin is a simple and self-hostable service that enables you to view your own images and video clips using TikTok's well-known vertical swipe feed. A request was made on Reddit for a self-hostable app that can show filtered videos using TikTok's interface, so I madefrom github.com

  Hey - I've been playing with LLMs since GPT-2 and recently experimented with fully generative UIs where the HTML/Canvas are generated just-in-time. Every post on the feed( on slop/duck/storytime) you see is streamed and generated just-in-time with HTML and into a Canvas with Gemini 3 Flash. Comments and DMs are bidirectionally linked with a Cloudflare Workers Durable Object which is why they feel so fast. Every generated post is saved into a DO SQLite which is then served into the "Following" feed so it can be served quicker. This was inspired by Wikitok, a VSCode Extension I…

  You Need Feeds – Introduce friends/family/workmates to RSS and webfeeds2018 · ▲205

  Partially inspired by recent discussions on HN and other places. I've made a single-focus site to introduce your friends/colleagues/neighbours/family to RSS and web feeds. https://www.youneedfeeds.com/ The site is meant to give the elevator pitch for feeds, show a newbie what feeds are and how to use them, set them up with a reader, and give them some nice starter content if they want it. So much tastemaking and newsmaking power is concentrated in the hands of Facebook/Reddit/Twitter, but I'm convinced it's because much of the general populace doesn't…

  I built a self hosted recommendation feed to escape Google's algorithm2022 · github.com · ▲214

  I created this chrome extension for myself where I track my own behavior locally and recommend myself content from platforms I want content from (youtube/twitter/quora/etc) in a feed. I made it public just in case anyone else was interested. I would rather have control over my own algorithm and own the data. Also, it gives me flexibility. Turns out I do like these feeds just not when I don't own it haha. Let me know what you think of my implementation?

  I've been using TheTabber primarily to repurpose my mom's TikTok content for other social media platforms. The available options are too expensive and too cluttered and confusing. I thought, why not add more features with a clean and easy-to-use UI and publish it? So here I am. I came up with the name TheTabber because the more tabs you have open for social media posting, the more of The Tabber you are--and this product is for you. LOL! These are the available features so far: - Connect 9+ social platforms - Post or schedule image, carousel, video, or text content - Repurpose content from…

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
