Mobicast: Video streaming platform with mobile apps

The idea

Mobicast is a video streaming portal for consumers, content owners, distributors, and brands. The project integrates video content management, recommendations, app and web publishing, syndication, and ad monetization. Due to its scale and complexity, the project remains under NDA, but its capabilities are comparable to a YouTube or Vimeo-style video gateway.

What we built

A year-long development effort building a custom web application and companion mobile apps:

• Base platform Foundational architecture using Ruby on Rails, ensuring scalability and performance
• Video player enhancements Social sharing buttons, sizing options, and responsiveness for various devices
• Storyboards and playlists Users organize and manage their video content effectively with storyboards and curated playlists
• iOS and Android apps Companion mobile apps mirroring the web platform's features: scrolling experience, social sharing, and full-screen video mode
• API synchronization Maintaining consistency across web and mobile environments through synchronized APIs

The result

A complete video streaming platform handling the full lifecycle from upload to monetization, with cross-platform delivery. The enhanced video player, storyboards, and playlists improved user engagement and content organization. API synchronization ensured a unified experience across all devices.
