DramaNow | Flutter App Short Drama Platform

DramaNow is a cross-platform Flutter mobile application (iOS & Android) for streaming short-form vertical dramas — bingeable, episodic “micro-drama” series. Built for the fast-growing short-drama entertainment market, it combines a polished native mobile UI with a production-ready backend powered by Supabase, Firebase Remote Config, and RevenueCat subscriptions.

The app is organized around five main tabs — Discover, Shorts, Rewards, My List, and Profile — giving users a complete journey from finding a series to binge-watching it episode by episode. Browse a curated, multi-genre catalog of short dramas, tap into a vertical full-screen episode player, and keep watching where you left off. A built-in coin economy, daily check-ins, rewarded ads, and a VIP subscription unlock premium episodes and remove ads.

Backend Options (all three included)

The mobile app can run with either backend — you choose one path; both are included in the package and work separately:

• Supabase — database, auth, edge functions, and catalog managed in Supabase (schema, seed, RevenueCat webhook). Ideal if you want a mobile-first setup without deploying the web app.
• Next.js admin / Web API — the included short-drama-next platform (admin panel, Prisma + PostgreSQL, and a mobile REST API). Ideal if you want a full web admin and browser streaming site that the mobile app can also talk to.
• Laravel admin / Web API (new) — the included short-drama-admin-panel platform: a PHP/Laravel web app with an admin dashboard, database migrations + seeders, and a mobile REST API the app can talk to. It also ships a multi-language streaming website. Ideal if you already run on classic PHP/MySQL hosting or prefer the Laravel ecosystem.

You do not need both at the same time. Pick Supabase or the Next.js web API for the mobile backend — whichever fits your launch plan.

Key Value Propositions

• For End Users: Discover trending short dramas across 12 genres, watch free preview episodes, unlock more with coins earned from daily check-ins and rewarded ads or with a VIP subscription, save series to My List, and pick up right where you left off with Continue Watching.
• For Binge-Watchers: A distraction-free vertical player with episode auto-advance, resume positions, multi-language dubs and subtitles, likes, and new-episode follow alerts.
• For App Owners / Developers: A complete, monetizable streaming product with VIP subscriptions, a coin/rewards economy, rewarded & banner ads, multiple color themes, onboarding layouts, paywall variants, push notifications, analytics, and remote configuration — plus two included backend options (Supabase or the Next.js admin / web API) so you can manage the catalog your way.

Content Disclosure

DramaNow ships as a complete streaming platform with a demo catalog so you can run it end-to-end out of the box:

• Demo series artwork uses placeholder images that you replace with your own poster and hero key-art.
• Demo episodes use sample videos so playback works during testing — you replace these with your own licensed video content.
• The full catalog (genres, series, seasons, episodes, and home shelves) is managed entirely by you.

You are responsible for the drama content you distribute. DramaNow provides the app, backend, and catalog tooling; sourcing and licensing the actual videos is up to you.

Disclaimer

This app is built to work with a backend you choose — Supabase (database, auth, edge functions), the included Next.js web API / admin, or the included Laravel web API / admin — plus third-party services: Firebase (Remote Config, Analytics, Crashlytics), RevenueCat (VIP subscriptions), OneSignal (push), and optional AdMob ads (banner & rewarded). Hosting accounts and streaming/CDN costs are not included in the purchase — you will need to create your own accounts, configure API keys, and manage usage yourself. Basic familiarity with Firebase, your chosen backend, and mobile store setup is recommended before launching.
