This is an untitled mobile streaming app tailored for activists and citizen journalists.

Key features for the target market are:

a) Chat directly to Twitter while streaming and keeping access to streaming controls and image (no opaque overlays).
b) App caches directly to phone when network signal drops off, and continues streaming when network signal is regained. Once network signal is regained, the user can resynch the missing parts of the video. Press on the BATTERY icon to toggle into the "no network" simulator and then out of it.
c) No barrier to capture - sign up, click "record" and presto! You're recording.
d) Take photos by clicking on the image - and add them to your Twitter posts when you chat - this makes for more engaging posts --> more visits to your stream.

Some notes:

1) In the capture screen, press the "battery" button to simulate the loss of signal and how the app caches.
2) I'm thinking of getting rid of the social elements for the MVP - and just relying on the Twitter social graph for now and focusing on image capture and playback.
3) Go to the user profile => to see how to synch an incomplete video.

Hoping to hear feedback about :
1) simplicity of interface
2) generate design tips.

Thanks!

Thanks Rahul. Noted about the grey buttons - I need to work on the color pattern of the app once I determine how tight of a core MVP I want to build. I still think the app has too many features.

I fixed the issue with the Twitter button - can you see the new version in my Space?

This is really well done with the video integration. Couple of points:
1) Grey buttons on top are hard to see
2) Twitter button is not working > would this button be pushed to tweet it out?
3) I like the caching animation
