Based on a brand new put up from X designer Andrea Conway, you’ll quickly be capable to add timestamp-based hyperlinks for video clips shared in-stream.

As you may see on this instance, timestamp hyperlinks will allow you to direct viewers to a selected section of the video clip, with the playback to start at that time.

Which is useful whenever you’re trying to spotlight a selected level, although most individuals simply screenshot or clip smaller segments for a similar objective.

Although there are nonetheless many posts that refer individuals to “take a look at 2:29” and the like, so it might serve a worthwhile objective on this respect. However it looks like a fairly minor replace, which is one among my predominant issues for X shifting ahead.

As a result of whereas the X workforce has been eager to tout its progress, and its speedy tempo of improvement beneath Elon Musk, nearly the entire new improvements that it’s rolled out since Musk took over on the app had really been in improvement lengthy earlier than he wandered into the constructing carrying a sink and laughing.

Certainly, out of an inventory of 73 key updates carried out over the previous 9 months, which the X workforce not too long ago shared to spotlight their efforts, solely 12 of them had been fully new.

Most, like Neighborhood Notes and Subscriptions, have been tweaked and amplified as a part of the brand new push, however they had been in place properly earlier than Musk got here in. The primary new updates of word have been its revamped X Premium verification program, the addition of longer video uploads, the launch of its advert income share program, bookmark counts, voice and video calls (nonetheless in improvement), the Highlights tab, and job listings.

However that’s it. There hasn’t been an inflow of recent concepts for the app which have revolutionized the best way that it’s used.

My concern right here is that now, the X workforce has just about exhausted its pantry of concepts that the earlier Twitter workforce had shelved. As such, it’ll now be left to its personal gadgets, and up to now, not lots of its new tasks have both caught on, or been utterly completed as but.

Which is comprehensible, on condition that the app has additionally minimize 80% of its employees in that very same time interval. On this respect, any improvement in any respect is a major achievement, however after we’re getting right down to timestamp hyperlinks as a brand new announcement, it looks like issues could possibly be operating somewhat skinny, each on inspiration and assets.

However it’s one thing, and it could possibly be of extra worth if X can get extra authentic video content material posted to its app, which new chief Yaccarino might be tasked with. But when it’s an indication of developments to return, it looks as if X’s speedy tempo could possibly be slowing, now that it’s used up every little thing it already had out there.
