## What it is
Alphabiz is a fully decentralized media platform and blockchain-based marketplace, positioned as a Web3 alternative to YouTube. It is also an open-source desktop and mobile framework/SDK for building Web3 apps, built on Electron with P2P streaming and a credit-system marketplace.

## Use cases
- watch and stream videos on a decentralized youtube alternative
- build a web3 media dapp with a branded framework
- run a p2p video player supporting mainstream formats and subtitles
- participate in a blockchain-based creator marketplace with credit system
- self-host a decentralized video platform for my community
- download and play media across windows mac and linux

## When to choose
- you want a decentralized, censorship-resistant video platform
- you need an Electron-based framework to build branded Web3 media apps
- you want P2P streaming without centralized servers
- you need a cross-platform media player with marketplace features

## When to avoid
- you need a simple traditional video hosting service with centralized infrastructure
- you require mobile app store distribution (focus is desktop with mobile framework in progress)
- you want a lightweight library rather than a full application
- you dislike cryptocurrency/credit-system monetization models
