It's an open-source MIT subscription-based video streaming application built on top of the Laravel Framework. In simpler terms I can say that phpReel is an application that let's you upload video content and distribute it to your users free or via a subscription.
Some of the great features of phpReel:
- Subscription feature powered by Stripe
- Cloud storage with Amazon S3
- Chunk upload and streaming
- Easily customizable with modules and themes
- Dashboard
Because I know how important is to have a well documented project, phpReel now provides access to its own documentation. I am constantly working on it, updating it and generally trying to make it better.
phpReel is getting bigger and better each day, thus with every new feature, it becomes more and more difficult to manage a product without a team. I really want to grow this project into a full-blown software company but until that day I rely entirely on the help of the community. Here is a list of things you can do to help phpReel grow:
- Fork the project on GitHub and contribute to it by adding new features, fixing bugs, or improving on what's already there (then submit a pull request)
- Spread the word about the project
- Just simply use it and open an issue on GitHub if you find any bugs
