HeartStream - The Better Way to Watch MLP on Your Mobile Device

[tomatopotato 166]

Hi everypony! 

I'm gonna be sharing my newest personal project: HeartStream!

"But what exactly is HeartStream?" you might ask. 

As a certified MLP addict, I noticed one huge problem that kept coming back to haunt me: mobile compatibility.

You see, My Little Pony has been spread quite far across a bunch of sources. Generations 1, 3, 3.5, and 4.5 are simply unavailable through all official sources (or at least the ones that I know of). Generation 4, Friendship is Magic, is partially available on Netflix and only available on some niche platforms that I don't know of. Generation 5 is the only one that is fully available on a large streaming platform: Netflix. And, this is excluding books, comics, and all of the other MLP content that exists outside of the TV shows. This is EXTREMELY annoying for us fans, since we have to subscribe to multiple platforms to watch only a fraction of these amazing episodes, films, and movies. So, we end up turning to third-party sources that actually serve entire generations in one place. The only problem with this..........is that most are pretty mobile unfriendly. Personally, the method I use is simply unviable on anything but a computer since it requires a desktop browser and access to a full-size keyboard and mouse/trackpad.

That brings us to today. We have no viable way to watch MLP on our phones, tablets, and portable devices. 

 

Going back to my original topic: HeartStream is an application meant to help fans consume MLP content. Currently it's only going to be available for iPhone and iPad, but in time, we might get other platforms. 

I don't want to give too many spoilers, so let's just say.......this is what we've got so far

 

It's still a huge WIP, and I plan on making a LOT of changes to beautify things.

 

Anyways, that ends my rant. 

Feel free to share any ideas or tips you have! I'd love to hear everyone's feedback about this new project of mine.
