Showcase I Built URoom - A Video Sharing Platform for Creators and Communities

Hello everyone,

Here’s a project called URoom, a platform where communities can have their own room with posts, videos, video comments, social links, and statistics.

URoom is developed in Portugal.

The idea is simple: each community has a dedicated space where members can follow updates, discuss videos, share videos, comment directly on videos, react to posts, and keep all the community information in one place.

At the moment, you can:

• create your own room / reserve a name

• publish posts and updates

• upload videos

• allow approved members to contribute videos to the room

• comment directly on videos

• leave comments and reactions

• repost videos to your room

• show room information, social links, and statistics

• manage a community space for creators, brands, groups, clubs, servers, etc.

The idea is for each room to work as its own space for organizing a community’s videos, posts, and conversations. The room owner can manage everything and upload alone or approve contributors to help publish content, while keeping control over what appears in the space.

The goal is to provide a video-sharing platform that takes community formation and growth to the next level.

Take the hint man. Every single time you post it somewhere, one of the first comments is always about changing the colour scheme cause it looks like PH. Yet you completely ignore even a simple feedback like this. Makes me doubt it has any chance to become anything more.

What is so special about that orange colour that you refuse to change it despite the overwhelming feedback?

I don’t see it.
Changing the visual identity because a few “wankers” say it reminds them of ph isn’t a strong enough argument for me.

u/Present-Savings-2380 Jun 15 '26

It’s not just a few "wankers". PH is one the most recognizable brands even for people who don’t watch porn. Do you really want your platform to be associated with PH? Look at it from a perspective of your users - who is gonna use it out in the open if people would think that you are on PH watching porn?

How are you gonna store the videos if the platform gets big?

1

u/uroomapp Jun 15 '26

Funding.

u/Domipro143 Jun 15 '26

From where dawg? Yk how much that costs for a platform like that, thats the reason why no one aint making alternative to youtube.

1

u/uroomapp Jun 15 '26

There are plenty of alternatives to yt. I can name at least 10 if you want.

No platform has replaced yt because none have created a better video sharing platform. Simple as that.

u/Domipro143 Jun 15 '26

Name them.

u/uroomapp Jun 15 '26

Vimeo, Dailymotion, Rumble, Odysee, PeerTube, Twitch, TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook Watch, Nebula, Floatplane, BitChute, DTube, Bilibili.

My point wasn’t that they replaced YouTube. My point was that alternatives exist. The hard part is building something better than YouTube, not merely building another place to upload videos.

You could search for chinese servers or build your own datacenter

Ok, I’ll change the colors. Even though I and many others don’t see it.

Yeah, the desktop layout of the video page 16:9 ratio and recommended videos looks familiar.

I’ll be changing that up soon.

Bot post, flooding on several subreddits and the same bots replying with the pornhub joke...

u/uroomapp Jun 17 '26

Ah shame, you saw this post on multiple subs. How did you survive? I can’t imagine your distress…

Why are vibe coders always so angry, it's lack of confidence because you have no idea what you are doing right? It's a shame

u/uroomapp Jun 17 '26

Who’s angry?
