Hey everyone,
A few days ago, I posted a thread here asking for some stress-testers for a new video platform we built called
Layenet (
https://layenet.com). The goal was to build a true alternative to Iwara and YouTube that actually handles 1440p 60fps HEVC rendering without crushing your physics and gradients into blocky messes.
The support from that first thread was amazing! and today we are officially opening the doors and launching the Discord server.
What's new since the last post?
- "SOTA-ish" AI Recommendations: We just finished coding a custom vector embedding system. Instead of a dumb algorithm, our AI mathematically analyzes your video frames, tags, and descriptions to push your content to the exact users who like your specific style. (Running this is getting expensive, so please actually use the site).
- The "Dual-Sync Wand": We finalized the interactive player. You can perfectly sync two video layers and literally X-ray/peek through them in real-time.
- Spatial Comments: You can now draw a box directly on a video frame to comment on specific details (like pointing out a rigging issue or a cool lighting trick) instead of just using standard text timestamps.
Join the Official Discord:
We want to build what
you guys actually want. If you want to request a feature, report a bug, or just talk about rendering setups, come jump in. We're giving "Verified Creator" status to early adopters who help us populate the site!

If you have some massive, high-bitrate renders sitting on your hard drive, come upload them to
https://layenet.com and see if you can break our new GPU transcoders.
Thanks again for the support!
(To the Mods: Thank you for letting the last post stay up! I just wanted to provide this one final launch update for the creators who were interested. I won't post any more promotional threads about this to keep the board clean from spam. Appreciate it!)
