Technical Architecture
Built using a Laravel MVC architecture with MySQL as the primary database. The application used Blade templates and Livewire components for dynamic user interfaces, AJAX for asynchronous search and user interactions, and PHPMailer/SMTP for email functionality. Cloudflare was used for performance, caching, and security. The system included separate layers for authentication, content management, search, watchlists, streaming functionality, and administrative controls, following a modular and scalable design.
