      The video, in case you haven't seen it yet.

      WaPo had an interesting breakdown a few days ago on most of the shots in the video and theories as to their meaning that is worth reading.

      However, one thing I noticed they (and most other people so far) missed was that you can see Glover's back in the beginning since he is facing away from the camera and there is clearly no gun in his pockets or in his waistband... so it simply materializes when he reaches behind him after he slowly dances towards his first victim.

      They also don't mention how during the third to last scene everyone screams and scatters even though he is only making a gun shape with his hands which, when contrast against the actual scenes of murder causing no reaction by anyone, says a lot.

      I am also currently addicted to Reaction videos on YouTube of people watching the video for the first time. Peoples' initial shock and their different interpretations of the video are fascinating to watch. In one of them, someone even mentioned something nobody else seemed to notice... that after the first murder, the gun is carried away by someone else with an almost reverence while the body is simply dragged away like garbage and again after the second murder scene as well.

      Anyone else notice any other interesting elements worth noting?

    2. CSRF error on registration page

      Hi, I got a CSRF error on the registration page, probably a timeout because I read the terms and privacy policy before going on with the registration. :) That's a bad first impression for users...

      Hi,

      I got a CSRF error on the registration page, probably a timeout because I read the terms and privacy policy before going on with the registration. :)

      That's a bad first impression for users and should be avoided.

    3. Familiarity: upvote arrows vs tapping on the votes

      It took me a few seconds to realize that tapping on the # of votes would count as an upvote. The usual arrows would be nice, even Facebook is experimenting with those now. update: Just realized...

      The usual arrows would be nice, even Facebook is experimenting with those now.

      update: Just realized this suggestion was already raised 4 days ago.

    4. Suggestion: tag limiting

      Gotta limit the tags; I added maybe 5-6 tags on a submission, I know Instagram has a limit of 30 or so hashtags, if tags are going to be searchable or used for surfacing content in other contexts,...

      Gotta limit the tags; I added maybe 5-6 tags on a submission, I know Instagram has a limit of 30 or so hashtags, if tags are going to be searchable or used for surfacing content in other contexts, limiting the hashtags would limit abuse of it.

      Or maybe this already exists and I just haven't hit the limit... ;p
