What HN said
What people liked
Fun, immersive museum feel and the multiplayer presence of other users
From 4 comments
Love this. Was much better than I expected since you also showed other users, what they were looking at, and let us have personalities like looking at each other and nodding…
hombre_fatal on HNThis is glorious, I just found a friend and we nodded at each other for a good while. Then I walked through the next best wall and lured others out, since they can still see the…
hans1729 on HNThis is amazing! It makes Reddit much more fun, especially with the other random people floating around.

Feels like a novel take on browsing the web
From 3 comments
Amazing, this is clearly a glimpse into a future of internet content being less like a document and more like a virtual world. Suggestion: the enter key should focus the chat box…
mappum on HNFantastic! Simple concept, but the effect is amazing. I felt like I was in a museum, except I was browsing reddit. This gives me a lot of really fun ideas regarding the future of…
yowlingcat on HNCool... this reminds me of what "cyberspace" was supposed to be in the fever-dreams of cyberpunk fiction.

Objections
Movement is too slow and controls are unintuitive
From 3 comments
Amazing! I might just use this as my go-to reddit app moving forward... A couple suggestions: any chance movement could be a bit faster? I'd rather run through the museum if…
airstrike on HNThis is a really neat concept! I love how you can see other people and their literal sightlines. Some people have said that they wish movement was faster; I completely agree with…
sdrothrock on HNThe movement on a touch screen is unintuitive. Dragging the screen moves it in the direction opposite to what you expect generally, when you scroll. Great job, nonetheless

Touch drag direction is reversed from what users expect
From 2 comments
You really should not use this old-school QuickTime VR reverse-drag scrolling on a mobile device. That is not what anyone who's used a touch device in the last ten years expects.…

Browser or keyboard issues on Firefox, Safari and Chromium
From 5 comments
Can't get it to work on Firefox on Android.
deadbunny on HNIt looks neat, but I can't use it because it keeps looking up as if I were moving my mouse (I'm not). Running it on Firefox 69 on Linux.
stelonix on HNDoesn't work in Firefox. Will not open Chromium.
jonny383 on HNI am not seeing any pictures, using Firefox 60
flyGuyOnTheSly on HNThis doesn't work at all for me in Safari tech preview on Mac, just has weird blue background and some white lines. Normal safari seems to load a visual, but I can't seem to do…

Players can walk through walls and clipping is missing
From 2 comments
Also, I could walk through the walls of the "museum", are there no clipping options?
kthejoker2 on HNIt's definitely possible, I just didn't have time to implement clipping properly haha.

Requests
Add an option to filter NSFW content
From 2 comments
Do you filter NSFW stuff by default?
0xDEFC0DE on HNThis is rad! Is there an existing way to show adult content? Looks like the backend needs to click "I'm over 18" button.

Add an option to invert the y-axis
From 2 comments
Is there a way to invert (or even just disable) the y-axis?
thefifthsetpin on HNI would love to invert the y-axis, too.

Add VR support
From 2 comments
Do you support VR in any way? Can I use this in my Oculus Quest browser?
danielbln on HNPLEASE someone (masterspy7 ?) make this into a proper VR app! I'd love to do this in my VR headset.

Old Reddit layout

If yours logged in, under settings there’s an option to select the old layout.
rovr138 on HNNo thanks. I prefer the old Reddit, and by old Reddit, I actually mean the OLD reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/redesign/

Earlier single-player WebVR Reddit prototype

I made a similar (single-player) version a bunch of years ago when Mozilla first released WebVR or whatever they called it back then!…
