Tangi has iOS app and web version. There are not many categories now, including art, cooking, DIY, fashion and lifestyle. Click on the video to see a short video of up to 60 seconds. Currently, you need to log in to a Google account and apply additionally to join the ranks of sharing videos:

Although you cannot share the video, you can have a lot of interactions with the creator. In addition to the basic likes (love) and sharing messages, you can also share photos of the finished product after learning about this video:

After logging in to the iOS version of the app, you can get notifications about new videos and responses on the Tangi platform:
