The new version of the Shan Video mobile app, sponsored by the Publicity Department of the CPC Shaanxi Provincial Committee and built jointly by Shaanxi Broadcast Media Group and tsan.ai, has officially launched. Shan Video is a new-generation audio-visual platform from a provincial media group, focused on quality video content and new forms of production and presentation. It aims to give everyone around the world who follows and loves Shaanxi a window and a stage, in the freshest online language, the most down-to-earth style and the most authentic local flavor.
The Shan Video app is built on tsan.ai's Jushi low-code app development platform, a technical architecture well ahead of the mainstream media apps that are custom-developed today. The Jushi low-code app development platform has four main advantages.
Fast to launch
The Jushi platform has a full set of functional components that can be defined quickly to fit business needs, avoiding the usual sequence of requirements, design, development, testing and launch. Its standardized operating process greatly shortens development time before launch and makes preparation far more efficient.
Assured quality
Jushi draws on years of productized technology and experience with many high-concurrency projects, ensuring a highly mature product. Apps packaged with the Jushi platform have refined features and styling, secure data and emergency response capabilities, keeping the app running normally, smoothly and continuously.
Soft upgrades
Once an app is live, new business features that require changes to the app can go live through a soft upgrade, without repackaging and resubmitting the app. Users don't need to visit an app store — simply opening the app updates its features automatically, lowering costs for users and giving more people a better app experience conveniently and cheaply.
Iteration across the lifecycle
Jushi's own product system meets the version upgrades needed as phone operating systems update and app features expand, so apps can keep being upgraded within the Jushi framework. This helps increase registrations, retention and activity, and strengthens the bond between the app and its users.
The Jushi low-code app development platform has now been developing for nearly five years and has entered its 4.0 era. The new Shan Video app uses many 4.0 features, such as the latest interface style components, automatic content recommendations based on users' browsing habits, and an upgraded media account feature.
Pages can connect directly to third-party recommendation systems, using big data to meet users' personal needs; users can browse sections that match their interests.
The carousel supports portrait display and video.
List pages support quick likes, comments and shares, with a special effect on a long-press like.
When users are not signed in or follow no accounts, recommended media accounts are shown. Sign-in supports one-tap login with the phone's number. The latest posts from followed media accounts appear in real time, and users can like, comment and share.
Help accounts, an extension of Shan Video's media account system, answer users' requests for help promptly. Users can post a request in the app and @ the relevant help account, which then answers and replies. Help accounts give the public a new channel for everyday concerns and make the app stickier.
Live TV cover images are captured dynamically in real time; the programme schedule supports replay and can be collapsed with one tap; likes support single taps and a long-press effect; swiping switches channels; radio can keep playing in the background on other channels; and a floating button offers play, pause and quick access to the radio page.
The weather component can switch cities and shows the day's weather for each city.
The trending list style can be customized.
Full programme pages show past episodes and highlights of a programme, with swiping to choose videos.
Shan Video is now available on the App Store and on Huawei, Xiaomi, 360, Tencent MyApp and other Android app markets. Search for "Shan Video" to download and try it.
