01 / OVERVIEW

What exists.

WatchParty explores how shared media viewing and real-time conversation can coexist in a single lightweight interface.

02 / PROBLEM + CONSTRAINT

Where it resisted.

Synchronized playback and real-time chat need to stay aligned across participants without heavy infrastructure.

03 / INTERVENTION

What I changed.

Built a SvelteKit prototype to test the interaction model before committing to a full build.

DIFFICULT DECISION

The obvious implementation was not the product.

Keep the prototype lightweight to validate the concept before investing in production infrastructure.

Current proof

03
  1. SvelteKit prototype exists.
  2. Concept and interaction model are documented.
  3. Early-stage exploration with working local demo.
LESSONS

What this build changed.

Shared media experiences need synchronization and conversation to feel natural, not just technically connected.
