What Exists Today

A native iOS project and a web demo exist. The experience includes poster-grid and carousel libraries, a vertical player, continuous autoplay, swipe episode navigation, captions, episode menus, playback history, and background or locked-screen audio.

The Technology Connection

A native iOS Xcode project, a web demo, and private Beta Hub infrastructure using Cloudflare Zero Trust and Tunnel. The editorial concept “Modified Mobile Media” (MMM) describes existing material substantially recreated or repurposed for mobile viewing.

Images show prepared content and interface behavior; they do not establish distribution or licensing rights.

What’s Next

Continue private testing and refine the viewing experience. Apple Ad Hoc distribution awaits the developer-program and signing setup. Licensing strategy and the business model remain in development; analytics and advertising are planned.
