About Client
When a new guideline was introduced in 2017, it prohibited uploading any material referencing marijuana or cannabis. As a result, many cannabis influencers on YouTube lost their bread and butter. One such influencer is our customer, who, together with others, launched a site called Weed Tube, which is much like YouTube. One of their goals is to build a community-driven online hub for sharing Weed-related material. They put in a lot of work over a long time, and now they have this online social network that centers on video and allows users to use marijuana. Today, WeedTube is the primary video-sharing website for the cannabis business. With Brainvire, they built a solid foundation for reaching out to a large audience with a lot of material.
About Product
As a team, our Brainers have been working with the WeedTube platform for nearly four years. We have been involved with WeedTube since its inception, helping to build both the website and the mobile app. Our team developed a unique Pipeline add-on so that customers can use everything the social media platform offers. In addition, we improved the tech stack with cutting-edge technology that can handle thousands of people at once while still providing a faultless experience.
Extended Video Clips:
Web pages with plenty of images and videos took a long time to load.
One of the first obstacles was improving the speed and reliability with which viewers received their video material. To provide a trouble-free streaming experience, we used JW Player, a video-management tool. Besides the big names like Disney and Netflix, this player has supported many smaller video streaming sites.
