What you get on /lit/

4chan TV plays every webm and mp4 of a /lit/ thread one after another, full screen, with the loop rules of a TV channel: short clips twice, long ones once, then on to the next. Files on this board carry no audio, so expect silent clips and GIF-style loops. You can mix the top threads of the board, save clips inside the app, heart them and comment. It works in the browser on phones and desktop; add it to your home screen to open it like an app.
