Ask HN: How was Vimeo built?

4 pointsby sscheperabout 16 years ago

I really like the look/feel and light-weight design of vimeo.<p>Would anyone mind giving their 2 cents on what languages it was built using, or how it was built?<p>Thanks :)

it uses mootools for a lot of the pretty UI stuff, and it's ruby on rails.

pclark got the core of it. As for look/feel: part of it is a really concerted effort on the part of the guys that designed it to keep things as streamlines as possible; part of it is that they went over-the-top to add fun cartoony art everywhere.
