Streaming Online Costs a Lot of Cellular Data- It's Been Trashed (optimalvid-web.vercel.app)

In my startup (Optimalvid) we are building an online movie streaming platform for students and professionals where they can stream movies online without cellular data.

This came as an idea after I sat and discussed with friends of mine who stream movies and I constantly heard one pain point "what the fuck! I still gat to pay a lot for cellular data even after my Netflix subscription ?"

Having heard this repeated I knew it was a problem needed to be solved to bring convenience to the visual entertainment world and we are working on that.

Note: We are still yet to push the last/complete development of our MVP to the repo and finally host to the server. You can try it out at this stage and give a feedback.

I will also like to hear your take on your use of streaming platforms and what difficulty you experience and want fixed? Do you think Optimalvid is solving your problems you encounter while using streaming platforms?

Do magic pixies bring the packets to my phone? Is this 5g going right into my brain? Humble wifi?

Explain how you're adding value to "streaming" in a way that makes sense to me as a nerd and to my non tech friends. Otherwise you look like every other streaming platform out there. And we don't need more of those.

I clicked on one of the movies but nothing happened.
off top o my head, this would piggy back on your home internet connection.
