Really cool! Already can tell that I'll be using this a lot.
As I was going through, I found it a bit hard to follow the 🔥 section. Is there a way to see how many upvotes the best clips have?
I feel like Medal wants to be the place that I should check first to see all the latest/greatest, but I'm struggling to figure that out all the way. Maybe some clips have 10x what others do (a sign perhaps that I should watch), but it's pretty hard to know. Alternatively, is there a way to pull this info from the source as you're getting rolling? (Like 180k views on Imgur)
How's the vibe from top casters?
Really excited to see how this develops, nice work!

@eglyman Hey
1) Yes under the upvote button it says the upvotes, but you have to join the community first :-)
2) We don't pull data from source at the moment, have to see about this :-)
3) Generally feedback is good. Our next update will include making it easier to follow individual people.
Thx :-)

Thanks for the hunt! This means a ton :-)
As gamers, we watch a lot of gaming clips. But none of the platforms feel native to mobile, where in our opinion most gaming clips should be consumed, since it’s a way of staying in the games you love, wherever you go.
So we decided to build it. And the result is Medal, an app that is optimized and designed purely for viewing the best clips of your favorite games, anywhere, anytime. It integrates directly with Discord and organizes content in discord communities, which are then put in our mobile app for viewing. That’s why we also built our own Discord Bot, so that people can also enjoy their favorite clips, sorted by up votes, right inside discord.
We are pleased to present you with Medal - Top Gaming Highlights, Clips & Moments, available to download anywhere in the world, starting today.
We are also going to post the top clips for every game daily on our Instagram, Facebook, Youtube and Twitter.
Follow us here!

PS: We are the same guys who built Pokématch, the tinder for Pokemon go app that was launched last year.
I'm here all day for AMA :-)
Looks awesome @pimdewitte Congrats on the launch! Smart move with the Discord integration and bot too - Going to get lost in some Rocket League highlights now

@npearsonwright Rocket league is actually what inspired the whole app :-) Thank you!

@pimdewitte Hey Pim! Does this feed off of Twitch Clips?
Report
@igoruphere Users can submit any type of clips using the discord bot. It's similar to reddit in the way it collects and organizes content and then links back out to the original poster :-) (Edit: Includes stuff like twitch clips, plays.tv, gfycat, imgur, etc - this works super nicely because discord communities essentially curate the content for you and the result is epic)

@pimdewitte awesome! Shame I am unable to download in my region it seems. I'm glad Medal exists and I would definitely download it for my 5 minutes of highlights a day. :( As a heavy Twitch user, I often simply lack time to watch my favorite streamers. Twitch Clips are great to still witness highlights despite missing the whole session, but Twitch makes very poor use of them. Great to see you put everything under one roof. Also spotting a new great creator to follow is much easier via an exciting highlight than when you open their stream at a random moment and there's nothing eye-catching for like 10 minutes so you just close it.

@igoruphere Apple just approved it yesterday, but it's definitely available in all regions! Where are you at?
