YouStream: Broadcast Videos to YouTube

Hi there! 🖖

Let me share a short story of how a streaming app YouStream came to life evolving from a request to make a design for just a small demo project. With time this concept developed into a service with over 500k downloads, 1500 feedbacks and real users. Such progress made it extremely interesting to experiment and move forward in enhancing functionality 🤯.

Feedbacks and stats dictated the design to a large extent, however Google Store appeared to be a great influencer as well. The app was groundlessly rejected many times. We were told that the icon resembled the Youtube icon too much, that the colors and the assets had been stolen from Youtube, and so forth. No wonder that only Google considered there was some resemblance between the look of the 2 services, and surprisingly some previously rejected attempts were accepted upon a recurring upload of the update 🤨.

The demo idea has been realized to its fullest capacity, and we’ve run out of time allotted, but the experience appeared to be very valuable.

Somehow I will tell more, so stay tuned, guys! ✊
