About
Showcast started in December 2020 to offer content creators a platform that allowed them to own their spaces.
Creators can sign in for a free account to get involved with their communities in any way.
Some featured examples include host talk shows, panels, masterclasses and watch parties.
Unlike other platforms, Showcast allows creators to set their pay-per-view prices per event.
The venue holds a small percentage of the ticket sales— it only makes money when creators do.
Technology
Our team laid the groundwork for this project by combining React Native and Node for front and back ends.
We also blended MongoDB with MUX’s video platform and AWS notifications services.
The structure was completed with Stripe’s payment management.
Strategy
We built a structure where creators can offer audiences shows composed of different events.
Subscribers can choose single events or get an annual subscription with the whole channel’s content.
The platform also has livestream events with chats and notifications when creators upload new content.
We released a beta version and developed an iOS app and a website to document the process.
