@allnick thanks again for the post and praise! Thats one of our key use cases. Our users tell us if they missed a game on TV, Swish is the best place for them to find a great recap of it but of course we're always looking for ways to make this better.

@sammybauch exactly we feel your pain, 30 second ads pre rolled on 6 second highlights drive me insane! That is one of the main drivers for why we built Swish

@mdoerneman thanks Michael, yes we definitely intend to add college football and basketball in the future - starting with a select conferences

@_gw thanks! Yes, we plan on eventually adding as many sports as possible.

@nathenmcvittie The data model for soccer is significantly more complex than it is for the NBA, NHL, and NFL. The key thing that lets Swish work is that every video clip is tied to the statistical information that backs each individual play, which lets us link each video to the players and teams involved. In order to correctly model soccer you essentially need to model every team in the world, because you have tournaments like the FA Cup with hundreds of participants. You also have things like the Champions League where teams from different leagues will compete against eachother in games. You also have to take national teams into account. If I want a highlight feed of Michael Bradley's best plays from the past year I would have to join his highlights from the US national team with his highlights from Toronto F.C. etc... That's not to say this is impossible to do or anything, if you wanted to tackle soccer, you could start by just modeling specific leagues like the EPL and MLS and ignoring champions league, and national teams and then slowly lacing those in later. However, Ari and I built Swish on our own, with no outside help or funding. So it's more a logistical thing of how much additional work it would be to add soccer than it is a statement about being biased towards US sports. Note that I'm a huge soccer fan, and agree the app would work incredibly well for soccer.

@dannyfreed thanks Danny, we source all our content from 3rd parties and don't host any video on our servers. If a copyright holder issues a DMCA take down notice they do so to the site it's hosted on and it's no longer available to view in our app/platform. We typically have multiple video sources for the same play so if that happens (and it does with NFL clips, rarely if ever with NBA/NHL) we can swap it in our system for a new one - usually with an official clip from the league, team, or network page.

@arilitan @dannyfreed thanks Ari, any plans to let people in the stadium to post UGC from the game?

@alexmoazed right now we are focused on providing users with the experience of watching the best plays of the day and summarizing games they missed. Typically videos from TV broadcasts fulfill this use case where as videos from the stadium are geared more towards "what was it like to be at the game". That being said, anyone can submit a video to swish on Twitter using the hashtag #swishio and we plan to add functionality to see all the different videos of the same plays.

@roulse thanks Roulse! Swish has evolved through many iterations over better part of the past year. We stared with a web based NBA.com highlight search engine which then morphed into our mobile app.

@chhhris thanks enjoy!

@bentossell thanks - I'm a big fan of @justinkan snapchat dude is hilarious and was awesome to see him play around with Swish! To answer your question, yes we added an option to follow your fav teams and players and track them in a customized feed. This allows you to effectively filter exactly what you care about. We also released a few other cool features, like interactive game summaries - think Soundcloud meets Twitter Moments meets ESPN.

@sahilc0 not yet, hopefully later this year.

@arilitan hey this looks cool. Curious - why do you have the mixpanel badge at the bottom?

@samchristie thanks Sam, they give you a few hundred k events for free if you put their badge on your website. We're bootstrapped so it helps :)

@anthony_abitbol thanks Anthony, we plan on eventually adding the other football. We also post great content to our Instagram account daily, you can follow us there @swishhighlights

@arilitan "the other football", love it! Can't wait for that... Where are you guys based?

@anthony_abitbol we started the company when we were living in DC and recently moved out to SF mid last year.

@jcauffield glad you enjoy using the app! We developed algos that automate this process for the most part with little manual intervention.

@arilitan Very nice! The product is really well built. So what are your biggest hurdles that you are facing now?

@jcauffield much appreciated. We're facing any and all the hurdles you would expect any early stage company to go through.

@jcauffield @arilitan Monetization for standalone mobile apps is incredibly broken. You either need to put intrusive ads on it, which will absolutely compromise a product like this. OR get to a large enough scale where you can pursue a more native ads based approach that doesn't compromise the experience. But getting to that scale would require outside investment, and we're on the fence about whether raising VC for a mobile ads based business is a good idea or not. So if Swish is an MVP proof of concept, then figuring out the right path forward into a stable revenue generating business is the challenge right now.

@alwaysbcoding @arilitan Thanks for the insight. This can be a tricky decision and determining the correct business model can be a major factor in whether your business thrives or dies. I love what you guys have done so far and look forward to seeing where you go with it. I have a couple thoughts on where I would see a lot of value add in your product and would be happy to explore those with you. Feel free to DM me on twitter if you would like to talk more.

@josef_moser thanks for the heads up Josef, we are indeed aware of them :)

@jpatcourtney thanks bud!
