Hey Product Hunt — I'm Adam, the maker of Lumen.

I built Lumen because I missed video apps that were actually fun to spend
time on. YouTube became a TV channel that watches me back. TikTok
optimised for "next" until I forgot what I was even there for. Twitch is
incredible if you're already into a streamer, brutal if you're not.

Lumen is a smaller version of all three, with one rule: what you see is
either from someone you chose to follow, or something you actively go
looking for. There's a Trending tab too, but it's a tab, not a homepage.

What you can do today:

📹 Upload a video — drag, drop, publish. Server-side thumbnails,
progress bar, mobile camera supported.
🔴 Go live in a tap — WebRTC, sub-second latency, live chat, floating
emoji reactions, all in the browser.
💬 Follow people, get notified when they post or go live, comment,
like, save, build a watch history with resume playback.
📱 Installable PWA — feels native on iOS and Android.

It's free while I learn what people actually do with it. No ads, no data
sold, accounts are easy to delete with one click.

Two things I'd love your honest reaction to:

1. Sign up, follow me (@mr_adam1), spend two minutes — does the feed feel
different from what you're used to? In what way?
2. Try going live (button is bottom-right of the home screen). What
made it click or feel awkward?

Going to be in the comments all day. Thank you for making time 🙏
