Anyflix
Stream anything, anywhere — a PWA-powered entertainment platform
Use these demo credentials to test full premium streaming features and exclusive content.
Build a progressive web app that delivers a native-like streaming experience across all devices. The platform needed offline support, instant loading, and a cinematic dark UI — all while running entirely in the browser without an app store listing.
PWA Architecture
Designed a service worker strategy with smart caching — streaming assets load instantly on repeat visits while new content is fetched in the background.
UI/UX Design
Built a dark-themed, cinema-inspired interface using Poppins typography and fluid layouts that feel native on mobile, tablet, and desktop.
Install Experience
Implemented custom beforeinstallprompt handling for a seamless add-to-home-screen flow that converts web visitors into app users.
Performance Optimization
Lazy-loaded media assets, implemented virtual scrolling for content grids, and optimized the critical rendering path for sub-second FCP.
