Audio/Video Streaming Platform App Challenge

Release 1: Basic Functionality

1. Design the user interface:

   • Create a Home component that displays featured audio/video content, categories, and search functionality.
   • Include sections for browsing popular content, recently added content, and user playlists.
   • Implement a navigation bar component to switch between different views.

2. Implement content listing functionality:

   • Create a ContentList component that renders a list of audio or video content.
   • Display content details such as title, description, thumbnail, and duration.
   • Use mock data or a media API to fetch and populate the content list.

3. Implement content playback functionality:

   • Create a MediaPlayer component that allows users to play audio or video content.
   • Include playback controls like play, pause, seek, volume, and fullscreen.
   • Use a media player library like React Player or Video.js for handling the playback.

Release 2: User Management and Playlists

1. Implement user authentication and registration:

   • Create user authentication components, including login and registration forms.
   • Handle user authentication and session management using a mock authentication API or library.

2. User playlist management:

   • Create a Playlist component that allows users to create and manage their playlists.
   • Implement features like adding content to a playlist, removing content, and playlist renaming.
   • Store user playlists and their content in the application state or a separate data source.

Release 3: Recommendations and Social Features

1. Implement content recommendations:

   • Create a recommendation engine that suggests relevant audio or video content based on user preferences, viewing history, or playlist content.
   • Display recommended content in the Home component or a dedicated recommendations section.
   • Update recommendations dynamically as the user interacts with the app.

2. Social features:

   • Enable users to like, comment on, and share audio or video content.
   • Implement features like content rating, user reviews, and user-generated playlists.
   • Include options for users to follow other users, view their activity, and discover content based on user recommendations.

Guidelines:

• Use React functional components and hooks for building the user interface and managing state.
• Utilize React Router for navigation between different views, such as the Home, ContentList, and MediaPlayer components.
• Store media content, user playlists, and recommendations in a state management tool like Redux or the React Context API.
• Consider using a media streaming library like React Player or Video.js for handling media playback.
• Provide clear instructions on how to run the application and any necessary setup steps in the documentation.
