K-Tube (Youtube Clone)

Developed a comprehensive video sharing platform replicating core YouTube mechanics. Built with the MERN stack, the application allows users to register accounts, upload and stream videos, write comments, and manage creator channel subscriptions. Focused heavily on high-performance media delivery and clean responsive interfaces.

The Problem Solved

Provided a scalable web portal to handle concurrent media streams, user reviews, and instant creator channel status updates with zero lag.

Challenges Faced

Optimizing video rendering and processing slow client uploads was a major architectural hurdle. I resolved this by integrating chunked media upload pipelines. Additionally, managing real-time peer-to-peer live video feeds required custom signaling server configurations built with Socket.IO and WebRTC.

This clone stands out by introducing a gamified user points system where viewers earn credits for watching and commenting. The player UI supports responsive gesture controls (vertical swipes for volume and brightness, double tap to seek). It also features an integrated live messaging chatroom and peer-to-peer screen/video call sharing for premium subscribers.
