byte for Web (Unofficial): Explore, watch, and share bytes on the web

Maker

Hi everyone, I was excited to see that byte launched last week but after using the app I realized that certain features that we're used to having such as getting a direct link to a post so you can share it on social media doesn't exist in byte yet. Currently you can export your byte video but it will just generate an mp4 file for you to share, so there's no way to get a link and share it. The day after the public launch of byte I set out to create an experience that will allow people to easily share and discover bytes so I reverse engineered the APIs used in their mobile apps and created an unofficial web app. Now, this is an unofficial port of byte's mobile apps, so there is a possibility that byte might take action to have this removed, but for now I hope everyone enjoys exploring bytes and I appreciate any feedback, thanks! Note: There's no way to login/signup because byte uses Google/Apple login and there's no way to intercept the auth token because byte controls the allowed redirect URLs. You can explore and watch bytes but you can't do anything that requires authentication such as like bytes or follow users. Features: 🎬Explore bytes from various categories and sort by trending or recent 🔍Search for users 💬Read comments and view who liked the byte 🔗Share posts and profiles on social media via link - The web app is mobile responsive but the UX isn't as good as the mobile apps so I would recommend viewing in on your computer to get the best experience. Here's some links to get started: 🔗 ProductHunt's official account: https://www.byte.community/user/... 🔗 Comedy category: https://www.byte.community/categ... 🔗 "the lights are on" - first post that new users see: https://www.byte.community/post/... The project is open source on GitHub: https://github.com/CaliAlec/Byte... @dhof Amazing work on byte. Feel free to use my code to make an official web app :)
