Build the most devious video player
What could you create if you had 30 minutes to plan and 4 hours to build? Michael Chan, Chance Strickland, Eve Porcello, Roxy Rodriguez-Becker, Braydon Coyer, and Devyn Coyer took on the Web Dev Challenge to find out.
The Challenge
Build the most unhinged, Byzantine, devious, unusual video player UX you can imagine.
Programmer social media passes around intentionally bad UI designs every once in a while, and it’s both very fun and also deeply painful to see how creatively a developer can make something like a simple button hurt so much to use.
Your challenge is to embody this kind of mischievous energy and build out a truly heinous video player UX built on top of the Mux video player base. The video must be actually playable (though we’ll let you get creative with what “playable” means).
The Tool: Mux
Your app must use Mux as part of the build.
Mux provides everything you need to deliver video, from video asset delivery and optimization to drop-in components that support advanced playback approaches like adaptive bitrate streaming. You’ll be using the Mux's open source Media Chrome library as a baseline for this challenge, and you’ll be playing a video that’s delivered via Mux.
