Build Adult Subscription Video Platform

I want to launch a platform that gives adult content creators their own subscription-based feeds—very similar to Fansly—where paying fans unlock videos, photos, and live streams.

Core structure
• Revenue model: subscription only; no pay-per-view or free-tier gating.
• Roles in the system: Content Creators, Subscribers, and an Admin tier for me and any future moderators.

Key feature set
• Direct, high-resolution uploads from creators with progress indicators and automatic transcoding.
• Live streaming (WebRTC or a comparable low-latency solution) with real-time chat.
• Scheduled posts so creators can queue content that publishes automatically.
• Subscriber tools: secure checkout, recurrent billing, notifications, comments/likes, and bookmarking.
• Admin dashboard: user oversight, payout controls, content flagging, analytics, and global settings.

Technical considerations
I’m open to your stack recommendation, but I’m picturing a React/Next.js front end, Node.js or Laravel API, Postgres, S3-compatible object storage, and Stripe or another adult-friendly processor. The code must be clean, modular, and ready for future mobile apps. PCI compliance, GDPR readiness, and robust moderation hooks are mandatory.

To move forward, please outline:
1. The technologies you’d choose and why.
2. A milestone-based timeline (MVP, live streaming, scheduling, harden & deploy).
3. Examples of any similar platforms you’ve built.
4. Your approach to security, scaling, and adult-friendly payment integration.

Acceptance criteria
• Responsive web app that withstands basic load testing.
• End-to-end subscription flow in payment sandbox.
• Creators can upload and stream 1080p content smoothly.
• A scheduled post publishes at the correct UTC time without manual intervention.

Once I see a solid plan and relevant experience, I’m ready to kick off development right away.
