Hi team,
I’m excited to discuss some options for hosting 8thWall experience files inside an App Bundle. We’ve had great success running 8thWall using webviews and self-hosting.
Our team had an idea to include the 8thWall CDN files within the App Bundle to reduce users’ bandwidth usage. We create experiences for music festivals, and the high concentration of attendees in remote locations often leads to bandwidth saturation. This makes it difficult to use the platform, even when other files are included in the App Bundle. Due to this limitation, 8thWall technology currently can’t be used in production for music festivals, stadiums and other places with high concentration of people overloading the network carriers.
For future versions, my request is to make license verification and view count more bandwidth-efficient. And permit us to bundle the entire 8thwall bundle (App Bundle + currently on CDN resources) inside the distribution for webview applications.
This would improve bandwidth usage for webviews within apps that have a large audience for this specific use cases: stadiums, music festivals, events in rural areas, et cetera.
Looking forward to your thoughts!
Best,
Nandico
