How theTopView works
theTopView is built around one idea that does not exist anywhere else — quoting a moment out of a video rather than resharing the whole thing. These pages explain that idea and everything built on top of it.
What a reTop is
A reTop is a quote of a moment, not a copy of a video. The five kinds, what each one keeps, and when to use them.
Getting started
Making an account, what the three feeds are for, and the first things worth setting before you post.
Privacy controls, one by one
Every visibility switch in theTopView, what it actually covers, and the ones people expect to exist but do not.
Posting: covers, tags and flags
What each field on the post screen does, which ones affect who sees the post, and the flags you are expected to set honestly.
Stories and re-reTop stacks
How the stories player differs from a feed, what the stack is, and how a chain of reTops is read.
Playlists, saving and history
The three different ways to keep something on theTopView, and which one you actually want.
