1. Product Vision & Value Proposition

| Vision | Create a lightweight, community‑driven video hub that lets creators upload, organize, and monetize short‑form and long‑form content without the overhead of a full‑blown “YouTube‑style” platform. | |------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Target Users | • Micro‑creators (artists, educators, hobbyists) who need a quick, zero‑fee launchpad.
• Niche communities (e.g., indie game devs, DIY makers) that want a shared video space with custom branding.
• Brands looking for a “white‑label” video channel that can be embedded on their own sites. | | Key Differentiators | 1. Instant “One‑Click” Upload – drag‑and‑drop, auto‑transcode, no manual settings.
2. Customizable “Channel Pods” – each creator gets a mini‑site with theme‑able layouts.
3. Built‑in “Tip‑Jar” & “Pay‑Per‑View” without platform‑wide revenue sharing (creator keeps 100%).
4. Community‑First Moderation – reputation‑based flags + AI‑assisted review. |

7. UI / UX Flow (textual wire‑frame)

[Home Screen] ──► [X XX Vidos Feed] (full‑screen vertical scroll)
   ├─ Video Cell (auto‑play, muted)
   │    ├─ Top‑right: Creator avatar (tap → profile)
   │    ├─ Bottom‑left: Like ♥  (tap → toggle)
   │    ├─ Bottom‑center: Comment bubble (tap → comment sheet)

   │    └─ Swipe up → Creator profile
   └─ Floating “+” button (bottom‑right) → Capture Flow

Capture Flow

  1. Launch Camera – UI shows circular record button, timer, flip‑camera icon.
  2. Record (≤15 s) – progress ring fills.
  3. Edit Screen – add caption (auto‑suggest hashtags), stickers, music carousel.
  4. Publish – “Post” button triggers upload → moderation → appears in feed within ~5 seconds.

6. MVP Scope (What to ship in the first 8 weeks)
