      A boomerang is a short video that runs forwards, then backwards, then repeats. The post was already a boomerang, so you just needed to click share.

        Yeah, a lot of these were lessened because the task was easy without any knowledge. I like the iPod one because the UX would be unfamiliar to someone who didn’t use it. But things like “Type {phrase} into the search box” are really just a lame way to make a reference.

        Boomerang was an old feature on Instagram where it would just take a video and then loop it backwards when it reached the end. It was a really stupid phenomenon that nobody really used, hence the reason the got rid of it.
