UI Design & Development

A dark theme was implemented to create a cinematic atmosphere, complemented by elegant typography for clarity. Personalized watchlists, interactive categories, and AI-driven content recommendations were key design elements.

Final Implementation

A seamless playback experience was developed for cross-device accessibility. A user-friendly content categorization system ensured effortless content discovery.

Results & Impact

User engagement increased significantly, with longer watch times reported. A well-structured content library and curated recommendations led to a growth in subscriptions and user retention.

Reflection & Learnings

Personalization and curation proved to be critical for engagement. Enhancing navigation and accessibility resulted in higher user satisfaction and retention rates.
