Just Thinking
-
Probably a thousand reasons why not but intriguing thought: if submitted projects are within a minimal data limit for very short play loops and they could they be pre-loaded and "swiped" through sequentially at a somewhat reasonable rate, the hub could have a "Shorts" section

HypeHype has this feature, and from my experience of using it, it's not as cool as you think. 😅
- hyperPad projects are complex and preloading a bunch of them will degrade performance. HypeHype is fine with this because everything is a premade asset (you can't import your own stuff). hyperPad is much more flexible and provides more freedom, but in return, projects can be very large.
- Treating each project like a "short" makes them feel less meaningful. If all it takes is a swipe to skip a project, then what's stopping users from staying if they don't like what they see within the first few seconds?
- Nobody will read the description - screenshots are ignored. Sure, you may get some engagement in terms of how many people view your project and give a like, but users are less compelled to slow down and provide valuable thorough feedback because of how fast-paced shorts are.
This idea seems very intriguing, but creators don't benefit from it and it only degrades the experience we have now.

@RobinsonX I get illogically upset when YT shorts take 3 seconds to load... and I like to think I'm patient... what you're saying makes a lot sense. Appreciate you taking the time to share perspective
