Afroclip — African video, raw and uncut

Afroclip is a bilingual (EN/FR) platform for African short-form video. Portrait and landscape feeds, creator uploads, emoji reactions, and premium content with crypto payments. Built solo in Lagos. Africa, raw and uncut — no filters, no gatekeepers.
The dual feed setup sounds genuinely useful, especially for creators who film in different orientations. One thing that would help discovery a lot though is adding local language hashtags or trending tags by region, so a viewer in Dakar can actually find what's blowing up in Abidjan without scrolling through everything. That kind of regional surfacing could really push cross-border creator growth.
The no filters angle is great but consider adding a simple toggle so creators can mark videos with content warnings for sensitive topics, helps users choose what they want to see and keeps the uncut feel while giving people a heads up before something heavy starts playing.
Have you considered adding a basic analytics dashboard for creators showing views, watch time, and reaction breakdowns? Right now there is no clear way for someone uploading to know what is resonating, and that kind of feedback loop would really help emerging creators grow on the platform.
the fact that you built this solo in lagos honestly blows my mind, especially shipping both portrait and landscape feeds plus the crypto paywall. that kind of execution from one person is genuinely impressive.
