- A user account where each user can be content creator or viewer (or both).
- Content creators can have multiple channels that they can manage.
- Viewers can subscribe to any channel and they must also get notified every time a new video is added to the channel they are subscribed to.
- Viewers can search all the videos available over the network by the video title or tags.
- Viewer can also like, comment and add a video to their watch-later list.
- Content creators can also add tags to video whenever they add video.- [x] A trending-videos page, where viewers can see the list of trending videos
- Two plans for content creators - free and premium.
- Free plan - content creator have to keep their instance of Application up and running(if their instance goes down, their content will be immediately unavailable).
- Premium plan - a copy of all the content added by the creator(with premium membership) will be stored at one extra peer (who may be a content creator or a content viewer) and in case of downtime of the original creator’s instance,this cache-peer would be used for streaming purposes.
