As a software engineer, I love your initiative to create a product. I can tell that this has been a huge effort and I respect that.

My question is this: why would I use this site instead of just email/messaging/text/call with my friends/acquaintances? I don’t mean to be rude but I don’t want another social media that I don’t really need.

On the technical aspect, what technology stack did you use? How do you host? (How) is the website secure?

It’s because you’re clearly here to promote your product. It’s not really an AMA, it’s an advertisement.

Not a question, but it would be nice to see the channel name before you click a video on mobile. I definitely understand why you left it out though, I'm sure it was getting crowded in that space.

Also, other than the voting system, how will new channels be recognized as Trinding becomes saturated with content? If you have 5000 new channels with ok content on your site and a new channel with great content, what brings it to the front instead of it getting buried because nobody knows about it? As a site that gets new channels with great content a boost in popularity, this is very important. Will you remove channels once they get to X subscribers? What is to stop Trinding from becoming a simple marketing tool to already-popular channels?

I see, it looks like you've got a good site going! It would be killer for you if you could manage an algorithm to predict what videos people are more likely to like and show those towards the top. Then you wouldn't just be relying on post frequency and upvotes. Collect as much analytics data as you can, and then more! Maybe certain keywords are used often in videos that people are more likely to relate to.

Yeah he’s just young, but as long as he doesn’t give up on his ideas he’ll land something.
