Hi all! It started off as a 1 day project and then I ended up getting carried away.

A few features:

- Smart pre-caching to minimize load time.

- Collect interesting vines. Right now, it just dumps it into local storage.

- Duplicates elimination.

- Categories that act like channels for rough curation.

I think the most interesting part about Vine is that you get a huge amount of short-form content with high variance in quality. This is very similar to 9GAG where enjoying a single piece of media is quick and there is a large corpus out there. This means you build an effective curation mechanism, you get a lot of value. In either case, let me know what you think!

Find me on twitter at @jiggityk. I will also be hanging out in the Olark chat on the site.
