Ask HN: Why hasn't Vine built a platform for discovering vines in browser?

I would assume Vine is eventually getting around to building a better web based discovery experience for vines.

Currently all they have though is the ability to view 1 vine at a time in browser and that's assuming you have the URL to the vine.

So a friend and I decided to build a better viewing and discovery experience of Vines in your browser.

We launched http://www.vined.co yesterday and would like your feedback. We used the Twiiter API.

Go ahead and search for a popular hashtag like #mardigras #carnival #magic #howto etc and we pull in all the vines for you.

You can also search for a twitter @username and we will pull in all their tweets that include a vine.

You can play and pause the videos by clicking on the videos themselves.

Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback for us.

    Vine seems best suited to be a content creation tool for twitter. I would be very curious to see data on traffic for vines from twitter vs. all other sources.

    They are probably doing this right now, don't you think.
