Social media rewards views and likes, but often hides how audiences truly feel. TruReel changes that by allowing both likes and dislikes, creating a balanced feedback system for every short video. Our TruScore helps creators understand real audience sentiment instead of chasing vanity metrics. This is an early prototype, and we're building it with community feedback.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Gurwinder, an Android developer from India.
After spending years on social media, I noticed that creators often receive only one side of the story. Likes are visible, but there's no straightforward way for audiences to express that they didn't enjoy a video. That can make it harder for creators to understand how their content is actually landing.
So I started building **TruReel**.
Instead of focusing only on likes and follower counts, TruReel lets viewers react with both likes and dislikes, and combines those signals into a **TruScore** to give creators a clearer picture of audience sentiment.
This is still an early prototype, and I'm sharing it because I want honest feedback from people who love trying new products.
I'd really appreciate hearing:
* Would you use a platform with both like and dislike reactions?
* What would make you switch from existing short-video apps?
* Which features should I build next?
Thanks for checking out TruReel, and thank you for your feedback!
Really appreciate your feedback! I built TruReel because I felt creators deserved more than just a like count. The idea behind dislikes and TruScore isn't to discourage creators, but to provide honest community feedback that helps everyone improve.
We're still in the early stages, so feedback like yours is incredibly valuable. Thanks for being one of our early supporters!
finally an app where dislikes count for something, feels way more honest than just a sea of likes and the truscore breakdown was honestly pretty eye opening for my own clips
The dislike option is a refreshing take, makes the feed feel way more honest. Curious to see how TruScore plays out for smaller creators once there's more data to judge by.
The dislike option finally feels honest instead of performative, and the TruScore breakdown actually showed me which videos missed the mark and why.
