I am planning to build a VOD website for indie filmmakers, I’m considering using the Ionic framework for cross-platform apps so users can access the platform on both web and mobile.
But I’m also exploring whether a white-label solution like VPlayed might save time with built-in streaming, monetization, and DRM, instead of building everything from scratch.
all your experts thoughts are welcome
Hi, @emileymadison I hope you are doing well. Do you have UI design for this app specially?
Not yet, I’m still in the planning stage. I’m considering whether to go with a custom UI design or use something more standardized depending on the platform I choose.
Hey Emiley!
there are two ways you can scale it. it is your decision end of the day
Using Ionic is a solid option if you want full control and flexibility across web and mobile, but it requires handling streaming, DRM, and monetization setups yourself. A white-label platform like VPlayed can speed things up with built-in video hosting, secure streaming, and revenue models already in place.
If your goal is to launch quickly and focus on content, VPlayed is a smart start; if you’re aiming for long-term scalability and deeper customization, building with Ionic makes more sense.
