You didn't really answer his question. @starkerz simply avoided it entirely.
Just saying "short period of time" doesn't mean shit. What technology is so magical that you can upload while offline? YOU NEED TO SPECIFY EXACTLY what tools a person in a country with bad internet can depend on to have their content online without frustrating themselves into giving up.
THAT IS REALLY where you're going to lose the audience. Because Hive audience and current 3spk audience is predominantly from poor countries where bad internet is the norm. Reading text blogs on Hive is one thing... but sustaining your video network and contributing to it in a meaningful way is a tall ask.
Let me be more specific on what I exactly mean here. One of the main issues with the current website is the inability to resume uploading in the event of an internet outage. Ideally, with the desktop app you would be able to encode, and compose your video completely offline (not publishing, and making live to the network until online). Once online the user can publish their content to hive and sync their video via ipfs to public dedicated nodes for high throughput playback. Ipfs allows us to tolerate unstable internet connections. There are definitely going to be users with bad internet connections, so higher throughput servers/other nodes will need to pick up the slack.
