Contact usThe Challenge
The need was for a modern TV guide application that would work across all platforms without the overhead of maintaining separate codebases or navigating app store approval processes. They requremnt was a solution that would be lightweight, work offline, and provide native-like functionality while minimizing infrastructure costs and maintenance overhead.
Our Solution
We architected an autonomous system centered around a Next.js Progressive Web App that users can install directly from their browser on any device. The system leverages on-demand serverless infrastructure that spins up only when needed, paired with globally distributed storage for lightning-fast access worldwide. We implemented smart translation layers that allow access to native device APIs and client-side workers that enable full offline functionality.
Browser-based Installation
No app store required → Direct installation from web → Immediate updates → Cross-platform compatibility
Implementation Approach
Developed a Progressive Web App using Next.js with installability across desktop and mobile devices
Implemented browser-based installation flow eliminating app store dependencies
Architected serverless backend components that activate only when needed
Created globally accessible storage instances for consistent data availability
Built client workers for offline functionality and cached content access
Developed translation layers for accessing native device capabilities
Outcome
The TV Guide App aim to transforme how users access television programming information across devices. By bypassing traditional app stores, the client achieved faster update cycles and eliminated approval delays. The on-demand serverless architecture has reduced infrastructure costs by 68%, compared to intustry standard implementations, while maintaining 99.9% global availability. Users benefit from a lightweight app experience that works offline, installs directly from the browser, and still accesses native device features when needed.
