GlobeFlix
Une application web qui permet aux utilisateurs de rechercher des titres disponibles (films ou séries télévisées) en fonction des différents pays où ils sont accessibles. Cela permet à des utilisateurs qui ne sont pas physiquement ensemble de trouver quelque chose à regarder en commun, en fonction des deux pays où ils se trouvent actuellement. Ils ont accès à un moteur de recherche et à des outils de filtrage pour trouver des titres en commun, ou pour identifier un pays vers lequel se connecter via un VPN s'ils souhaitent davantage d'options de visionnage.
