I was pleasantly surprised by how accessible the process of building a video streaming app seemed after watching this video. I'm looking forward to trying it out for myself!

[@dennisbabych]

Do you remember what Nike said? Just do it!

[@Raptor-fb1uf]

Great video! What steps would you recommend for someone with a new idea to take first? Have you considered the benefits and drawbacks of working with independent contractors versus seeking funding from investors?

[@dennisbabych]

You should have your own small budget and then identify core, IC or funding this is not the first issue that you have to solve

[@learnaboutfreelancing]

Assuming I fund my project without any outside investment, what would be the estimated cost?

[@dennisbabych]

I need more data, but mostly $30k - $60k

Do you have any tips for marketing your app once it's complete?

[@dennisbabych]

Communities, FB ads, TikTok ads

[@zenaidasedeno2886]

Very informative! Have you researched existing MVPs in the dating app industry to determine if they align with your needs? How will you ensure the MVP is customized to fit your unique idea?

[@dennisbabych]

Dating + streaming? It's something new ;) I'm not sure honestly, but I think it's might fly

[@OliverSmith-cp3rp]

thank you for sharing these information ...... am wondering .... What are the major challenges in developing an app like Netflix, and how can developers overcome them?

[@dennisbabych]

Big issue it's when you trying add many many features at your MVP and you are not ready to move fast

[@venesamuigai5355]

Great info. How can I ensure that my app is scalable and able to handle large volumes of users and content?

[@dennisbabych]

High-loads tests with your cloud infrastructure

[@shemdexter1095]

What are the potential legal and copyright considerations when building a streaming app like Netflix?

[@dennisbabych]

You better ask your lawyer because depending on the country you might have different law and regulations

[@creativebazaar7902]

Great idea! Before you begin, make sure you understand the market and target audience for your app. Conduct market research to determine the features and functionalities that your potential users would want in a streaming app

[@dennisbabych]

Yep 😂

[@HibaHab-dn3tf]

What kind of server infrastructure is necessary to handle the vast amount of data and traffic generated by a streaming platform like Netflix

[@dennisbabych]

AWS is enough

[@finessefulj8489]

As someone starting with 0 coding knowledge, how long would it take to build an app like this (or more specifically a FAST service) and do you have any recommendations for content to upskill?

[@dennisbabych]

Business plan, big vision, team, experience, unique advantage, working prototype

[@Arrowvenesa]

what are some potential challenges to watch out for when building a streaming app like Netflix?

[@dennisbabych]

Product that no one need. Some overhyped things that no one needed, so you have to be fast by doing test and try to find what market needs and how can you pivot

[@Businessdevelopment-wy9xp]

You discussed value proposition and fitness apps in your video. Can you elaborate on how to determine the most important features during the MVP stage?

[@dennisbabych]

Yes, for fitness you have to find biggest pain and then fully focus on it. Just ONE feature + main streaming flow. Then when feature is working and your audience is happy you can add more and more. Baby steps

[@jwalantbhandari]

It is lots help for my project, just one question which company to connect backend API we use to develop this APP

[@dennisbabych]

I'm sorry but I didn't get your question

[@Lemon-ez6wk]

Have you considered the potential risks of sharing your idea with others before it's fully developed? How will you protect your intelectual property?

[@dennisbabych]

NDA. Idea worth nothing, execution worth everything :)

[@musicengineer08]

That’s the exact question I had

[@RikKarthik-ju6yg]

Hi, i have a query. Do you think it's essential to have a unique selling point for my video streaming app, or is simply emulating Netflix enough to attract users?

[@dennisbabych]

Just try to create product market fit first, monetization it's step #2

[@linaorak-gr3ff]

I’m on a tight budget for my video streaming app. Is it feasible to use Wordpress to reduce the cost, or would that negatively impact the quality or user experience?

[@dennisbabych]

No, no, no and again no. WP is not a good thing for these niche

[@IrynaSurova]

How can we balance the need to include specific features for our target audience while also identifying the core functionality for an MVP of a video streaming app? Are there any best practices or methods you would recommend for this process?

[@dennisbabych]

MVP MVP and MVP. Just create a list of features that you are thinking have value. Mark them from 1 to 10 and start realisation of features with super high priority. ONE feature at the time.

[@laizuakter4901]

Focus on creating a user-friendly interface that is easy to navigate. Ensure that the app's design is visually appealing and functional across different devices, including smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs

[@dennisbabych]

Is this a question?

[@Mr.Anonymous-gx8yz]

Have you done market research to determine the demand for your streaming app among teenagers? What steps have you taken to ensure the content is appropriate for this group?

[@dennisbabych]

Just try to find what are they doing now. TikTok mostly. What are they looking for? Just make research and ask them :)

[@AnayaUk-tv8de]

If I only have an idea, what steps can I take to secure investment for my project?

[@dennisbabych]

Pitch deck, long list of investors, passion and execution :)

[@FUNNY-km7ie]

I'm curious, what programming languages did you use to develop the app?❤

[@dennisbabych]

Swift + Kotlin + Python + AWS

[@abirefan3466]

[@sherwingithinji]

this very educative thank you. How can i gain revenue from streaming apps and what pricing models are commonly used in the insudtry?

[@dennisbabych]

Subscription. It's super popular model. You can charge for premium services such as live stream, donations also an option

[@sonuvivek4619]

If it were to assume that I am an absolute beginner? Would it be possible to create something like this, then too?

[@dennisbabych]

If you are a software developer then you have to create and MVP and learn to to run a business, sales & marketing & HR process. If you do not have software development knowledge, then you have to have enough funds to run a business $5,000 - $50,000 min. If you do not have both funds and software experience, then you can use no-code tools and spend 3-12 months doing these things solo. But do not be disappointed if you will fail from 1 or 2nd attempts.

[@MortonMcCastle]

This is an inspiring video. Can a video streaming platform be developed in Unity or Unreal Engine? What could the risks and challenges of trying to do that be?

[@dennisbabych]

VR yes, but for the back end you still need Python, AWS, etc. or you can use 3rd party provider for video streaming like Wowza. It depends on your needs

[@AzVonAzathoth]

Is there a guide for a website/ app for specifically twitch clone. Twitch and Netflix are entirely different beasts

What role does data analysis play in creating a successful video streaming app, and how can developers use analytics to improve user experience?

[@dennisbabych]

You do not need them at the first stage.

[@BigandSmallOpportinities-dm7dg]

Is there any video streaming service that already provides supoort for VR technology, as I am interested in creating a video streaming platform that utilizes VR?

[@dennisbabych]

Yes , some of them already exist but the experience is horrible. Video stream delays up to 90 sec and lie about 4k or 8k video.
