The website

Gallery

The gallery is a feed of reading videos that the people who made them chose to publish — one film at a time, scrolled vertically. It needs no account to watch.

Nothing you make is ever published automatically. Every post in the gallery is there because somebody deliberately put it there, and can take it out again.

Publishing a reading

  1. Generate a reading video at the bottom of a finished reading.
  2. Press Share this to the gallery under the finished video.
  3. Write a caption if you want one, and press Publish.

    A line about the reading, shown under the video in the feed.

  • Take it downButton

    Removes the post from the gallery. Replaces the publish control once a video is published.

What becomes public

Publishing makes exactly three things public, and nothing else:

  • • The video — the film itself, with its narration.
  • • Your caption, if you wrote one.
  • • Your display name, and the spread and deck the reading used.

Your reading stays yours

The question you asked and the written interpretation are not published and never leave your device — they are not stored on our servers at all. What the video says aloud is, of course, in the video; that is what you are choosing to share.

Watching the feed

  • ScrollGesture

    One video fills the screen at a time and snaps into place. Only the video you are looking at plays; the rest are paused.

  • Tap the videoGesture

    Turns sound on or off. Videos start muted because no browser will autoplay with sound; once you turn it on it stays on as you scroll.

  • Newest / Most likedButton

    The two orderings. Most liked breaks ties by recency, so it never shows the same handful forever.

  • StarButtonSign-in required

    Likes a reading. Tapping again removes it. One like per person, however many times you tap.

  • ShareButton

    Shares the post's link through your browser's share sheet, or copies it where that is not supported. The link plays the video inline when posted anywhere that shows previews.

  • ReportButtonSign-in required

    Sends the post to a moderator with your reason. Shown on other people's posts.

  • UnpublishButton

    Takes your own post out of the feed, from within the feed. Shown in place of Report on your own posts.

Taking a post down

You can unpublish at any time, either from the reading itself or from the post in the feed. The video is not deleted — it goes back to your journal and to the ordinary 30-day life every reading video has, counted from the moment you unpublish rather than from when you made it.

Published videos are kept, unpublished ones expire

A reading video normally disappears 30 days after it is made — download anything you want to keep. While a video is published it is held indefinitely instead, which is the one thing publishing changes about its lifetime.

A moderator can also take a post down after a report. That is not reversible by re-publishing the same video.
