CineSend?

NOT REALLYA prototype of the interface is possible, but the durable product depends on difficult systems beyond the UI. Build a safer adjacent workflow instead.

BUILD FIRST

A non-sensitive or read-only version of the core experience
A manual review step wherever correctness or trust matters
A narrow companion tool that removes a real piece of work

LEAVE FOR LATER

Regulated decisions, payments, or irreversible actions
Claims of correctness, compliance, or uptime that the MVP cannot support
Sensitive integrations until security, support, and auditability are ready

CineSend is a cloud platform for secure video storage, delivery, and streaming. Its principal product, CineSend Files, provides unlimited-size media storage, high-speed download links with custom expiry and download tracking, and non-downloadable screener links viewable in browsers or on streaming boxes/TV apps. A second product, CineSend OTT, is a customizable live and VOD platform with multi-DRM (Widevine, FairPlay, PlayReady), watermarking, geo-blocking down to ZIP code, concurrent-stream blocking, IP locks, monetization (subscriptions, rentals, vouchers, tickets), branded native smart TV apps, and viewer analytics. A third product, CineSend Request, collects large media files from many content providers into a central repository. All capabilities are exposed via an API for integration into existing business systems. The platform targets studios and teams managing high-value video con

Build a replacement for CineSend-style secure video delivery — a cloud web app called "SafeSend" (or similar) that lets teams upload, protect, and share large video files without copying CineSend's brand, UI, or marketing claims. Workflow: (1) an admin uploads large files (multipart/resumable); (2) per-file policy sets DRM, visible/forensic watermarking, geo-blocking, view/download limits, expiration, and whether the share is a direct download or a non-downloadable screener; (3) a public share page lets invited viewers watch a protected stream in-browser or request a controlled download; (4) the admin dashboard shows per-link analytics (views, completion %, download events, geolocation) and all actions are logged. Requirements: user auth with roles, resumable upload (tus or S3 multipart), storage abstraction (local/S3), transcoding to HLS with FFmpeg, AES-128 encryption of segments, watermark overlay at transcode time, geo/IP restrictions via middleware, link expiry and token reuse detection, a video player (hls.js/Shaka) that prevents right-click/download, analytics events captured server-side, and a REST API for upload, policy management, link generation, and analytics export. Implementation approach: Node.js (or Go) backend, PostgreSQL + Redis, React/Vue frontend, S3-compatible storage, containerized with Docker. Explicitly out of scope: native TV apps, multi-tenant billing/subscriptions, real Widevine/FairPlay licensing, and a pixel-perfect clone of CineSend's visual design. Include a README covering setup, architecture choices, and known limitations (e.g., browser-based playback is not fully piracy-proof, DRM only via AES-128).

Do not copy the original brand, proprietary assets, or UI; create an original visual system.
