Summary

Vistakast is a video hosting and sharing platform designed specifically for content creators, aiming to offer better deals than YouTube by requesting 20% of ad revenue instead of the current 30%. The platform allows users to upload and create channels, subscribe and donate to favorite content creators, leave comments and ask questions, and monetize their content. Vistakast was built using Bubble, a no-code platform that scales with business and user growth, allowing Matthew Zisa, the founder, to focus on content creation without extensive coding knowledge. The app has gained some users and received positive feedback, and future plans include adding features such as uploading videos from other platforms and launching a mobile app. With its aim to democratize video hosting and sharing, Vistakast aims to provide an alternative to YouTube for content creators.
