Schedule video uploads for Botswana's cheapest night data bundles
Exorbitant mobile data prices in Botswana prevent creators from uploading high-quality videos and live streaming, directly stifling their channel growth.
PWA compresses videos client-side, stores in local IndexedDB queue, and notifies via push when off-peak (e.g., MTC 12am-5am). User approves auto-upload direct to YouTube, saving 50-80% on data. Dashboard tracks queue and historical costs.
